STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
"40 years ago Stephen Doster was the first Austin artist I heard on the local airwaves; 40 years later his album New Black Suit is the one I listened to the most in 2017," says Jody Denberg of nationally renowned public radio station KUTX 98.9 in Austin. Denberg has named the album's single "Shooting For The Stars" as one of his top five tracks of 2017.
"Drawing from his relationships with Texas legends — Townes Van Zandt and comedian Bill Hicks — he writes personally about lost friends," says Austin Monthly in its review of Stephen Doster's just-released new album, adding, "Ultimately New Black Suit is an extended eulogy filled with an appreciation for life."

Kind words from Peter Blackstock in the Austin American-Statesman about the just-released new album from Stephen Doster: "Doster’s revelatory 2014 album Arizona was his first release in 18 years, but its success inspired him to reconvene quickly. The results are similarly wondrous." New Black Suit is available now via Atticus Records.
“Stephen Doster’s 2014 LP, Arizona, struck like lightning. New Black Suit maintains the momentum, sharpening his keen studio ear for perfect, driving melodies in the key of reflection,” says the Austin Chronicle in its rave review today.
