Stephanie Nilles January 14, 2010

These days, Stephanie Nilles is performing her own politically-influenced jazz/folk tunes, described by listeners as "Ella Fitzgerald on speed beating the shit out of Regina Spektor," "Tom Waits on helium," and "New Orleans second line, gypsy swing, and The Atlantic Monthly, crushed, mixed, and compacted into a viral so you can snort it." Out on the road in a hatchback with a Roland. She has performed at joints like Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall, The Bitter End, The Cutting Room, WFMT's "Live from Studio One," and the Dame Myra Hess Series at the Chicago Cultural Center.
