Original and Tribute Music
He’s been compared to Sturgill Simpson and Randy Travis, but Stephen Poe’s unique voice is showcased in his latest project, The Gospel According to Poe. More than just an album, it’s a personal testament to Poe’s vision and artistry. Every song is crafted with raw honesty, weaving together themes of faith, struggle, redemption, and the human spirit.
What sets this record apart is its deeply independent spirit. Stephen Poe not only wrote, produced, and mastered the entire album himself, but he also played every instrument heard on the record — with the exception of steel guitar and banjo, which were contributed by close collaborators. The result is a body of work that feels both intimate and expansive, carrying his unmistakable fingerprint in every note.
Lyrically, the album travels across a wide emotional and spiritual spectrum. It features songs about a love gone wrong, a love gone right, meditation and prayer, the grip of addiction, and even the transcendent experience of DMT. Each track opens a window into Poe’s world, where vulnerability and exploration take center stage.
