History
Stine was raised in Colorado, where he started playing guitar when he was twelve. Shortly after he began playing regular open-mic shows at local coffee houses where he developed his confessional style. He eventually relocated to Baltimore and quickly became a central part of its widely-divergent scene. He has released four albums during his time on Baltimore. His first two albums, 2006's October 29 and 2008's I'll Head West Again, were with the Brakemen, and highlighted a style The New Yorker called, "appropriately trainlike—steady and powerful."
His third album, Outgrown These Walls was a collaboration. Paired with rapper Saleem, by DJ Same Sessa from influential radio station WTMD, and challeneged to come up with four songs, the pair who had never meet, clicked immdediately and created an album's worth of material that the Baltimore Sun hailed as, "truly compelling." The dark and brooding track, "Baltimore", was used by CNN in a piece on prescription drug-abuse in Baltimore in 2010. Outgrown These Walls was followed in 2009 by Eyes So Strong and Clean, and marked the songwriters first solo album. In 2009, Stine also played on indie-folk-rocker Deer Tick's, Born on Flag Day, an album hailed by Rolling Stone as the "Country-Rock break-through of the Year."
Stine released his latest album, I Wasn't Built For a Life Like This September 25. The all-acoustic album continues what Stine calls, "his exploration in an evolving and eroding America."
