Americana fok singer-songwriter Stacia Thiel captivates audiences with her evocative songwriting and stunning, emotionally resonant voice. Born into a musical family and raised in rural Wisconsin, she grew up surrounded by barbershop harmonies, classic country and '60s folk, influences that shape her signature blend of folk and alt country. Her album "Straight to the Middle" reached the Top 20 on the Roots Music Report's Top 50 Americana Country Album Chart, with the single "Sunny Days" breaking into the Top 10.
