Devo interviewed the singer/songwriter — who hails from Camden, Maine — prior to her April 18 show at Passim in Cambridge, Mass. She discussed some of the background of the material on her album which was produced by Sam Kassirer who also plays assorted keyboards.
Recorded in Parsonsfield, Maine, the album has a dreamy sound that showcases Stancioff’s unique voice.
Included in the program are some of her singles from last year, including “Red Neck Yacht Club” and “Cass’s Song” which were produced by Benny Yurco, formerly of the Nocturnals and now part of Grace Potter’s solo outfit.
Stancioff grew up in rural Maine and spent some time living in California, New York and North Carolina before returning to Maine during the pandemic.
These experiences, along with her memories of growing up in Maine, are inspirations for her music. She will be touring throughout New England during the summer and fall.
