Stephen Day: Gold Mine Tour
Deep Ellum Art Company Presents: Stephen Day: Gold Mine Tour
Stephen Day is a soul artist making a name for himself in the modern music landscape. Heavily influenced by Stevie Wonder, Glen Campbell, Frank Sinatra, and John Mayer, his music honors the vocal style of traditional soul and intertwines sonic elements reminiscent of pop and country. With over 140 million all-time streams to date, it’s evident that the Georgia native’s unique approach to storytelling is resonating with fans around the world.
Currently a Nashville resident, Day has been developing a fan base since debuting his 2015 EP Undergrad Romance and the Moses in Me as a sophomore at Belmont University. Since then, he’s released a handful of projects, from a pandemic EP (Original Songs and Sound) to full length albums (Guess I’m Grown Now and The Shapes I’m In).
However, his latest release, Gold Mine (2024), feels like a new beginning, as it’s the first project that fully encapsulates who Stephen Day is as an artist – one who is constantly evolving and taking risks while concurrently upholding the truest version of himself. The record shares the likeness of 60s country and 70s soul music, but with a modern approach to production.
“My ultimate goal for this record, and maybe every record I’ll ever make, is for the music to simultaneously feel like it has always existed, while also feeling fresh and exciting,” Day says.
Although Day admits that he didn’t set out to make a concept album, the 13-song project is a sonically cohesive record from top to bottom, with the tracks intentionally interacting in a way that speaks to the larger narrative of trying to find, keep, and hold onto something real.
“A gold mine could be so many different things in life. Sure, it could be a romantic interest, but at the same time, we're all after something that makes us feel alive. When you experience something that’s true and pure, you learn the difference between what’s real and what’s not, and that is a Gold Mine.”
In addition to headlining sold out shows in most major markets and playing international festival slots, Stephen has supported Teddy Swims, Stephen Sandchez, and The Brook and the Bluff, among others, on their North American tours. He’s hitting the road with Lawrence later this month, opening on select dates of their Family Business Tour.
With more momentum than ever before, Stephen Day is just getting started.
