A life in
the strings.
Stephen "Tebbs" Karney is a Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist and singer, playing pedal steel, lap steel, dobro and guitar.
He previously played with Rodney and the Regulars and contributed pedal steel and harmony vocals to Cory Grinder and the Playboy Scouts. His recording work includes sessions with Maddie Indre and pedal steel on The Electric Weepers' album The Akron Tapes, alongside live collaborations with Austin Stambaugh.
"His humble demeanor makes him easy to work with."
"No matter what Maddie's masterful songs present, he seemed to lay it down like breathing."
