The amazing Stephanie Clifford, Jacob Verburg and James Clark are a trio from Tappen, B.C. that play folk, gypsy folk, and jazz infused folk. They headlined the Jan. 24 Revelstoke Coffee House, delivering a great performance.

Stephanie and Jacob are former Revelstoke residents and coffee house regulars. They left for Vancouver Island over a year ago, and have recently settled closer to home in Tappen. We’re better off for having them close to home!

In the YouTube video above, Stephanie delivers a powerful performance of a song she wrote about the tragic passing of young friends when she lived here in Revelstoke.
