Deep Ellum Art Company Presents: Stephen DayGold 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. 

Support from Anna Vaus

Anna Vaus is a singer/songwriter born and raised in the sun-soaked canyons of Southern
California. From a young age, she was drawn to the female voices of Joni Mitchell, Stevie
Nicks, and Taylor Swift. Though her heart still beats to the hum of the California breeze, Anna
found a home in Nashville, Tennessee by way of Belmont University - where she became the
first recipient of the Miranda Lambert Women Creators Fund and signed a publishing deal wi
Black River Entertainment at the end of her junior year.
Since graduating in 2018, Anna released and co-produced two EPs with GRAMMY winning
producer Luke Laird, found a new publishing home with Big Machine Music, and toured
alongside acts like Willie Nelson, Maddie & Tae, Trousdale, and more with stops at The Grand
Ole Opry and The Bluebird Cafe along the way. When COVID hit, Anna dreamed up the ‘Girl in
a Backyard Tour’, a sixty date tour that stopped in fans’ backyards across the United States.
As both an artist and a songwriter, Anna’s voice can’t help but shine. Anna has had songs
recorded by Keith Urban, Maddie & Tae, Carly Pearce, and more. While blossoming as a writer
in country music, her own artistry has garnered well-deserved recognition from respected
outlets like Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, and Billboard. Her cover of “Everybody Wants
to Rule the World” was recognized by national radio show host Bobby Bones, who after
hearing the song, invited Anna to join him for his Comedically Inspirational tour stop in
Nashville.
With over 13 million streams and counting, Anna set out to accomplish her biggest goal yet,
the making of her debut album. A heartfelt return to her California roots, Downhill From Here
will be available everywhere March 21st, 2025.
