Look no further, she’s your gal! Stolie was awesome. She learned a song for our event and was even open to wardrobe suggestions. By the way, great guitar/singer. We will
Be repeat customers!!
We hired Stolie to perform at a recent public library fundraiser, and she exceeded our expectations in every way! She was very easy to work with, had a HUGE catalog of songs to work with, and our guests absolutely loved her.
We've already discussed when she can come back!
Response from Stolie (aka Super Stolie):
Hi Rebekah, Thanks so much for this great review. It was a successful and unforgettable first Library After Dark event and I had a wonderful time singing for your guests! Well done!
Stolie was fantastic! She was easy to work with, professional and sounded great - just what our welcome reception called for! Thank you for a wonderful evening!
Stolie was outstanding! She effortlessly tuned into the crowd's vibe and tailored her performance accordingly. Exceptionally professional and creatively talented, she could sing anything and added her own sultry twist to each song. Our guests were thoroughly entertained, and she truly elevated the event. Highly recommend her for a captivating musical experience.
We had Stolie play for an evening backyard party. She was so easy to work with during the planning and at the party. Stolie tailored the set list based on our tastes, and set the perfect mood for the evening. She even helped us host an open mic / karaoke portion of the event! All the guests enjoyed her entertainment. She is a true pro and it really shows.
Response from Stolie (aka Super Stolie):
Thank you for the review! I’m so happy you found me and enjoyed making music alongside such a talented family! Wishing you all the best!
We loved having Stolie over for a family event. Everyone enjoyed her music. She was great on time and wonderful at communicating with me regarding all the details to prepare prior to the event .
Response from Stolie (aka Super Stolie):
Hola Erika! Fue un placer cantar para su familia y ofrecer una mezcla diferente de canciones. Muchas gracias por su preferencia y felicidades a su esposo y hija! :) ¡Gracias!
We hired Super Stolie to play our daughter’s outdoor first birthday party several years ago on what was easily the hottest day of the year! Stolie took the heat in stride - singing, dancing & entertaining the sweaty crowd. We’ve been some of her biggest fans ever since! Super Stolie and her music are a big part in both of our kids’ lives.
Response from Stolie (aka Super Stolie):
Thanks for your kind review, Craig! Hi to your kiddos from Super Stolie!
Stolie played a fun, engaging concert with a perfect mix of originals and covers. She's an excellent musician, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and was a huge hit with the audience.
Response from Stolie (aka Super Stolie):
I remember that 21st night of September! Thank you for hosting this house concert in your unique venue! I enjoyed it as well! :)
We have been going to see Stolie shows for years! Whether its a wedding, at a bar, a kids show or a private event, she never disappoints. Stolie knows so many songs and always gets the crowd involved. Everyone leaves the party saying that was the best night ever. We have so much fun at Stolie’s shows that we host our annual “Stolie Night” where all of our friends and neighbors come and we make the best memories!
Response from Stolie (aka Super Stolie):
Thank you for having me entertain your friends! You always are such a fun bunch and I'm happy to help keep the party going for you!
I was looking to throw the ultimate birthday party for my daughter. I am SO glad I hired Super Stolie. We had seen her play at a Park District event and then I saw her on Gig Salad, so I already knew what the show was like. She was totally great to work with. Everything was smooth and fun. She's a great talent. She has an amazing knack for paying attention to and reacting to and involving the audience. Drawing the kids in. It wasn't a one way show, just singing at the kids. She drew the kids into an interactive musical party! Unbelievably fun and awesome. The kids were all singing and dancing and waving scarves and shaking maracas and going nuts. She really helped make this an event to remember. Thank you Super Stolie!
We have had Stolie perform at private parties, at least three times in the last five years, she entertains our guests and gets people dancing, interacts, and does everything right. Her beautiful voice and skills with looping along with playing guitar and other instruments make for a full band sound. She’s a lot of fun and people always want her back!!!!! She is a human jukebox!! She has such a vast array of songs and is open to playing requests!!!! Her originals are all very special too!!!
Response from Stolie (aka Super Stolie):
Thanks for your review, Monica! It's always a pleasure to play for you and your friends!

Each event requires its own unique flare, and that is my forte!
I have performed at almost every thinkable function, and understand that my job is to enhance the vibe with the appropriate music and mood, volume level and attire. Give me an idea of what you're looking for and I'm happy to cater a setlist specifically for your event.
Looking for ambient background music for a cocktail hour or backyard party? I will gauge the appropriate volume and mixture of songs based on the attendees of your event.
Want something more engaging, like a house concert, or intimate cabaret style show? I have crafted many show sets that include witty banter with the audience and a mix of both originals and cover songs.
If it is a birthday party or block party, my Super Stolie's children's shows cater to ages 2-10 and aim to entertain kiddos for around 45 minutes, engaging with small instruments, shakers, scarves and bubbles.
Every performance aims to entertain the audience at hand, in the manner desired by the booking client!
Stolie is a musical entertainer and entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience on stage and in the music industry. Songwriter to over 100 published songs, she is a multi-instrumentalist, a versatile vocalist, a full studio package acting as arranger, producer and engineer, a flawless loop-pedal artist, and a bilingual traveling solo performer.
Originally from Chicago, IL, Stolie debuted her first batch of original music on cassette in the mid-90s. Full-time since 2007, and over a dozen albums later, Stolie now spends the winter months living and playing in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, México, and summers in Chicagoland and touring throughout the US and Canada, performing for both adults and for children (as Super Stolie).
Stolie started using loop pedals in 2003 to layer beats and harmonies and incorporate rhythms and beatbox, creating full arrangements on the fly.
Stolie’s forte is charming the crowd at her live shows, no matter what age they may be. Music brings people together, and Stolie is the ringmaster who carries us through the emotions, one unique space at a time. She is a professional live musician with hospitality experience, equipped with full sound system adequate for both small audiences and larger groups up to 500. All performances are confirmed with a contract. No advance deposit necessary.
I provide the sound gear that I need, but can work with what is provided for bigger events. I need access to a basic electrical outlet and at least 8x8 feet of space.

Think songwriter, pop-rock, jazz-rootsy, Folktronic. Stolie's first compositions date back to the mid-90s so she's collected an array of stylings since the beginning.

Stolie performs with looping and harmonizer pedals to layer full arrangements on the fly.
