Stephen Babcock

October 13, 2022 (BUFFALO, NEW YORK) – Today, indie-pop/folk singer-songwriter Stephen Babcock unveils his upbeat, melodic single “All I Can Do.” The relatable offering is a message to all significant others who see their partner struggle with self-doubt, as they love each other unconditionally through the tough times and imperfections. Babcock’s warm vocals effortlessly blend with the bluesy, 90’s acoustic strings and velvety bass line. He invites the listener in for what sonically feels like a picture-perfect joyride down the coast while his lyrics tell a more earnest narrative. Frequent collaborator William Hinson’s production paints the colorful sonic world in which Babcock’s music naturally exists, laying the foundation for the rising act to wear his heart on his sleeve. The introspective artist looks at life’s tribulations through a lens of optimism with poetic lyrics like ”Patient and kind / you never twist the knife,” this idea serving true to the sentiment of people who don’t run out the door when things aren’t perfect.

On the inspiration behind the single, Babcock explains, “‘All I Can Do’ is about me recognizing that I don’t have all of the answers and I’m still figuring things out for myself. I’d just gotten married, COVID was in full swing so touring had come to a halt, and I couldn’t help but get lost in the question of ‘What I'm doing with my life?’ At its core, this is me sharing my personal experience of looking at the person I love and saying, ‘I know I can't give you everything you need or want right now, but I will continue to do all that I can to show you I love you.’”

Babcock is adoringly known as “Internet Dad” online, a fan-given moniker which was born from his relatable pop music and consistent fan engagement. He holds an impressive list of shows under his belt; he has traveled up and down the East coast opening for artists including Ed Sheeran, Izaak Opatz, Canyon City, William Hinson and Girl Blue to name a few. 

“All I Can Do” is from Babcock’s forthcoming sophomore album We Were Kids Ourselves, which will consist of fan-favorite tracks and recently released singles “Worst Ways,” and “Still Think Of You.” 2022 has provided an exciting taste of the upcoming full-length effort, leaving fans eager for more as Babcock hits his musical stride while coming into his own as a writer. We Were Kids Ourselves will be released November 10th, 2022.

Babcock will embark on a North American tour run in support of the upcoming album We Were Kids Ourselves beginning September 10th in Buffalo, New York, and will end with a show on November 11th at the famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville.
