Genevieve Stokes

About

Genevieve Stokes is a singer songwriter from Portland, Maine whose music sits somewhere in the alt pop world, built around piano melodies and storytelling that feels genuinely personal. She counts Fiona Apple and Regina Spektor among her influences, and you can hear it: her sound has that same blend of delicate vocals and vivid, image driven lyrics. She taught herself piano as a kid and that self taught quality gives her playing an intimate, idiosyncratic feel. Her catalogue spans two EPs, Swimming Lessons and the dreamier Catching Rabbits, followed by her debut full length With a Lightning Strike. Her album Hiding Places digs into the emotional and physical spaces people retreat to when navigating love and loss. She has shared stages with Noah Kahan and Briston Maroney, which gives you a rough sense of the crowd she runs with.
