<p>Happy Pride Everyone! I want to take some time to introduce you all to a unique singer-songwriter and openly queer and non binary artist from Portland, Oregon: Stephan Nance! Stephan has toured the world including three tours in Japan! They have recently released their first album in eight years titled: <em>Look at the Harlequins! </em>The album features many great piano-driven tracks including &#8220;Hope or Float.&#8221;</p>

<p>Vocals come in right away on Stephan Nance&#8217;s song &#8220;Hope or Float.&#8221; The lyrics are about codependency and come across as extremely authentic, open and raw. The strong vocal delivery feels like a unique fusion of jazz and musical theatre. Even if those genres aren&#8217;t your favorites, the music still reels you in and begs for your ear because of it&#8217;s stand out sound.</p>
