Biography

Stollenwerck’s debut album, “Square One” was self-produced and released in 2005 on an independent record label in San Francisco, In The Pocket Records.[1]

Stollenwerck partnered with producer Jeff Trott to record “Carefree”.[2] She collaborated with songwriter Danielle Brisebois.[3]

Stollenwerck's latest record "Traveler's Songbook" was recorded after traveling through more than 30 countries and incorporating global and cultural influences in the songs. The songs and music videos feature elements of Germany, Eritrea, Russia, the Arctic and Antarctic Regions, Uganda, Rwanda and Yemen. One of the influences of this project was Paul Simon's "Graceland".

Love on the song "Ooh Dee Ooh" as part of the Patagonia Music Collective and helped build a community center and music program with SYRV, a clean water initiative in Nicaragua.
