"Stephanie Brickey - A Room Away"

Both the music and her voice are cast in a vaguely ‘60’s folk-rock mode and Stephanie creates contemporary music that is honest, tuneful and blessedly free of hype. There’s a lot of promise here.”

"Stephanie Brickey"

“At the forefront, Stephanie Brickey’s vocals complement the songs in a way that seems to accentuate the instrumental accompaniment rather than overshadow it. She sings with a voice that’s somewhere between Margo Timmins and Linda Thompson.”
- Dave Fey, Freelance writer


"South Side band's popularity grows"

With a voice as smooth as satin, Stephanie Brickey has quickly grown accustomed to her environment. Whether it's a pub or club audience she is performing in front of, chances are the place will be packed.

The singer/songwriter/guitarist has fronted the South Side band, A Room Away, for a little more than 2 years. While that might not sound like long, the band — behind its self-titled album released last month — has become a fixture in local establishments.

The Album features a wide selection of A Room Away influences. GOT WHAT YOU WANTED is a rock ballad, utilizing an upbeat tempo. Conversely, the ode-like BATTLE SONG is a lullaby that captures Brickey's most heart-wrenching lyrics. The foundation provided by the smooth, interweaving bass and drum work allows Brickey's vocals to take on alife of their own.

With a steady diet of new material and local shows, A Room Away hopes to journey into the upper echelon of local talent.

"A Room Away"

Stephanie Brickey comes across as a very quiet and sensitive girl. This is apparent in the self-titled album from A Room Away. Brickey raises her voice to fully encompass the music rarely, but when she does, it is sort of a shock. When the song SENSITIVE GIRL comes on, you wonder if you are listening to the same band. Suddenly, you are confronted with a woman possessed, a womean who is there to make her point. If it makes A ROOM AWAY a little uneven, it also brings out the quality of some of the better songs.

A LONG WAY HOME is a gorgeous song that washes over you and is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell. TRY AS YOU MIGHT offers a calm, waltzing conclusion to the CD. Playing by both Mike Hellebusch (guitar) and Dave Brickey (bass) show that the band is tight and growing in skill with several standout solos. The lyrics are good and promis more and better results in future endeavors. - Playback STL

Bio

Successfully mixing modern folk lyricism with straight-ahead pop/rock arrangements and an Americana sensibility, Stephanie Brickey has come up with a distinct sound of her own. She calls on her diverse musical influences to embellish the traditional folk song and to keep the crowd moving with timeless, stand-out rock performances. Brickey has the ability to grind out a crowd-pleasing, high-octane rocker and then follow it with an irresistible lullaby so hauntingly beautiful it may leave you in tears. Brickey’s vocals complement the songs in a way that seems to accentuate the instrumental accompaniment rather than overshadow it, with a voice that’s somewhere between Margo Timmins and Linda Thompson.

Brickey has been highly visible on the St. Louis music scene for some time performing as solo artist, as a member of SLIM (along with Lynn Reif and Mary Alice Wood) and as the frontperson for A Room Away.

Stephanie Brickey’s sound is infectious and unique. Her songs are timeless, smart and alluring.
