Stephie Coplan is the front lady of Stephie Coplan and the Pedesterians. I first saw Stephie play at the Lizard Lounge’s Open Mic Challenge and was blown away by her talent. She is a magnificent songwriter and pianist. I’m happy to announce that her band will be releasing their debut album this year.
Stephie will be returning to Boston on the 3rd at Toad in Cambridge, opening for Jesse Dee and then again on 4th at Precinct in Somerville opening for The Sea Monsters. These shows will be incredible I’m sure. Had the chance to ask Stephie a few questions about her music.

Stephie Coplan: I actually started out as a sketch artist. By the time I was 8, I had taken lessons for five years and I was no better than the day I started so I decided to try something else. I actually came very close to being a tap dancer (this is a DELI EXCLUSIVE fact – I have close friends and ex-boyfriends who don’t even know this about me) but fortunately, I ultimately decided on piano lessons. We had a piano in the house – it was the one that my mother had learned on when she was little, although she didn’t play very seriously – and I guess it was part boredom, part curiosity, and part convenience that drew me to it. I was immediately hooked.
