Every great performer needs a solid backing band, and the Stephanie Eason Band (SEB) delivers the goods and helps to support Stephanie's dynamic vocal ability and high energy show. The band consists of Stan Hitson on lead guitar and vocals, Brandon Kinser on drums, Mike Galli on mandolin, pedal steel, harmonica, and vocals, and Eric Gilboe on bass and vocals. As a band, they have been writing original material for Stephanie to record, but they still enjoy performing both current radio hits and classic country songs as well. From Miranda Lambert to Patsy Cline, Keith Urban, or Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Stephanie Eason Band covers all genres of music. The band recently traveled to Nashville to record Stephanie's debut album and look forward to promoting the album throughout the country for the remainder of the year. |

Stan Hitson has been performing in bands for many years and is a gifted writer and musician. He has written everything from country to pop to a rock opera and everything in between. He has managed to turn what most would call a "hobby" into a successful musical journey. He currently calls Prescott his home and has been there for many years. He was most recently a member of the band Southbound before joining the Stephanie Eason Band. |

Brandon grew up in the mean streets of Casa Grande. OK, so they weren't really mean (and at one point, they didn't even really have paved streets), but he did grow up there. He started playing drums as a child because he didn't have any neighbors that would get annoyed with the clanging and banging. Brandon can switch from metal to country to jazz without missing a beat, and he can mix the three together in the middle of one tune. He has played all over the southwest in various bands and brings a fresh feel to the country scene. |

Mike is a master of many instruments and a welcome addition to the SEB. Whether he's plucking a delicate mando lick, blowing some blues on the mouth harp, or sliding around the fretboard with his pedal steel, it's always sure to be tasty. He adds lead and harmony vocals to the mix too. Mike has been playing in original and cover projects around the valley for years, including Jasper's Clue and the Off The Record band. Originally from Northern California, he's made the deserts of Arizona his home. |

Eric started playing music in elementary school when he picked up the trombone...Realizing that chicks just don't dig trombone players, he decided to start playing bass in high school. (Chicks don't dig bass players either, but he still loves playing). He has recorded several full length albums and toured around the country with various country and rock artists and has opened for Gary Allan, Dave Mason, David Allen Coe and many others over the years. |
