Untamed,
hard-working and resilient are all used to describe the “big sky
country” of Montana – the same can be said of its native-born, Stephanie Quayle, who is set to release her latest EP, If I Was A Cowboy, on October 4th.
Inspired
by growing up on her family’s bison farm, Stephanie dug deep into her
Montana roots for her latest release. Penning three of the five tracks
on the EP, she wanted to authentically channel the undeterred spirit and
ambition of the American Cowboy that she grew up surrounded by – her
mom being the cowboy she looked up to the most.
“I
am really proud of my Western roots and I’m leaning into them more than
ever before, not only with my writing but sonically as well,” says
Stephanie. She continues, “Montana is all over this project and nothing
could make me happier than to share that with the world.”
The title track from the EP, “If I Was A Cowboy,”
which is available now on all digital streaming services, debuted as a
Top 10 Most Added record at country radio. For the single’s picturesque
video, Stephanie partnered with Wrangler to create a breath-taking
cinematic visual accompaniment to the track that has surpassed over half
a million views.
Track Listing:
1. “If I Was a Cowboy” (Nicolle Glayon, Ross Copperman, Shane McAnally)
2. “Evel Knievel” (Stephanie Quayle, Tori Tullier, Karen Kosowski)
3. “Whatcha Drinkin ‘Bout” (Stephanie Quayle, Ryland Fisher, Joey Ebach)
4. “Second Rodeo” (Stephanie Quayle, Anna Vaus, Scott Stepakoff)
5. “Untitled” (Nicolle Galyon, Ross Copperman, Ashley Gorley
“My
heart and my western ways are in this project. As a songwriter and
artist, I am proud of the craft that is shared in this body of work.
Music is the soundtrack for all the different moments in our lives and I
feel like these five songs hit on a little bit of everything. From ‘Evel Knievel’ to ‘Untitled,’
it’s the journey we’re on together….what lies ahead is endless and
filled with possibility. This theme is where my feet are right now and
how I feel about my next chapter of music,” says Quayle.

Stephanie performed at the famed Grand Ole Opry for their popular “Opry

About Stephanie Quayle:
Rebel
Engine recording artist Stephanie Quayle was recently inducted into
CMT’s “Next Women Of Country” Class of 2019. Last year, she made her
Grand Ole Opry Debut, played the historic Ryman Auditorium for the first
time, and was a consistent presence on the Billboard Country Airplay
chart with her previous single “Selfish.” Quayle was also one of the
only independent female acts in 2018 with two music videos in rotation
on CMT. Named one of Rolling Stone Country’s “New Country Artists You
Need To Know,” Quayle is garnering attention from her high-energy live
shows across the country while sharing stages with artists like Kane
Brown, Brett Eldredge, Jon Pardi, Carly Pearce, LOCASH, Billy
Currington, and more. The singer-songwriter’s booming personality has
also been tapped as a special guest host for Wrangler Network on the ACM
Awards red carpet, as well as for Sounds Like Nashville on the CMT
Awards and CMA Awards red carpets. And in a once in a lifetime
opportunity, the charismatic performer was the only independent act
invited to perform for the five living former U.S. presidents (Obama, W.
Bush, Clinton, H.W. Bush and Carter) alongside artists like Lady Gaga
and Alabama as part of the hurricane relief concert “Deep From The
Heart: The One America Appeal” in Texas.
She
has been highlighted in People, Huffington Post, Glamour, Hollywood
Life, Inspirer Magazine, Taste Of Country and Sounds Like Nashville, to
name a few. She also serves as music ambassador for Murdoch’s Ranch
& Home Supply, an original store from her hometown of Bozeman, MT,
and has teamed up with national brands Kampgrounds Of America (KOA),
Winnebago and Wrangler for various campaigns. Quayle is an active
supporter of charitable organizations like the American Heart
Association’s Go Red For Women movement, Care Camps, and St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital. Quayle’s most recent music video, the
cinematic stunner for “If I Was A Cowboy,” earned a CMT World Premiere
and over 600K views. Her latest offerings “Whatcha Drinkin ‘Bout” and
“Evel Knievel” are now available at digital retail and streaming
platforms.
