Don't Let Your Eyes Go Shopping For Your Heart Rachael Davis and the boys from Steppin’ In It found a common love for Jazz music of the 1930’s and ‘40’s after playing concerts as a double-bill. The summer of 2006 found the two Michigan acts working at the same festivals, as classic tunes from Nat King Cole or Sarah Vaughan found their way onto set-lists. By the fall, the quintet was dubbed ‘Shout Sister Shout’(after the Sister Rosetta Tharpe classic of the same name) and an album was in the works. Combining the timeless rhythm section of Steppin’ In It and Rachael’s velvety vocals, this group “creates a live show that is hot, energetic and brilliant…” WXPR Radio- Rhinelander, WI   JOSH DAVIS : FOOL ROOSTER ©2005 Listen & Purchase at CD Baby    1.

The Midnight Ghost After six years and three albums as the primary songwriter and vocalist of the Michigan quartet "Steppin' In It", Josh Davis has tracked his first solo record Fool Rooster in the spring of 2005. The album is a collection of original compositions, many with longtime collaborator and lyricist Aaron Allen. Recorded entirely live and in a few short days, the songs are placed in a modest setting with little attention to detail, leaving listeners convinced they were written about their own lives.   STEPPIN IN IT : HIDDEN IN THE LOWLANDS ©2005 Listen & Purchase at CD Baby    1.

Bound For Glory Steppin' In It capture the energy of their fierce touring schedule and the diversity of old-time American music with their third independent release, Hidden In The Lowlands. Hailing from Lansing, Michigan -the heart of Factory Town, USA- these young men pound out their own brand of roots combining old-time country, swing and blues, achieving the seemingly impossible task of making the most traditional sounds contemporary. The album features four covers spanning the history of American Roots Music along with nine originals showcasing the strong songwriting talents of singer/songwriter Josh Davis, who's haunting vocals paint a modern picture of rural and urban Michigan breaking its blue-collar back under troubled times.   STEPPIN IN IT : LAST WINTER IN THE COPPER COUNTRY ©2004 Listen & Purchase at CD Baby    1.

On Down the Line "Combining originals and traditionals, old-time music with zydeco and blues, Michigan’s acoustic trio Steppin’ In It play some of the liveliest and most rocking acoustic roots music around. On their second release, Last Winter in the Copper Country, they balance hillbilly, Cajun, European folk and blues music with stunning and sensitive musicianship. They also balance the traditionalist’s fine touch of artists like David Rawlings and Doc Watson with the innovative playfulness of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones or Lunasa—they make traditional music contemporary without selling its soul in the process. On the melancholic title tune, the classic "Trouble in Mind" and the reeling "Two Step Les Fréres Wilsón," these guys show an amazing dexterity and range as they cover instrumental duties including guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, accordion, steel guitar, dobro, National guitar and even shortwave radio."   SPEPPIN IN IT : CHILDREN TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF ©2002 Listen & Purchase at CD Baby    1.

The Second Hand Waltz Michigan based Steppin' In It play an assortment of musical genres with remarkable panache and sincerity. While Steppin' In It can jam, the band prides themselves on writing remarkably concise songs, which avoid excessive pentatonic noodling or show-off soloing. Instead, the band actually follows the standard blues cliché "just feel the music," and as a result Children Take Your Shoes Off should unquestionably be considered the sleeper album of 2000." -Christopher Orman, jambands.com
