      About The Big Takeover

      Jordan Stepp earned her musical scars and stripes on the streets of Athens, Ga. while writing for her blog, AthensMusicJunkie.com, and the local alternative rag Flagpole Magazine. During her time as a writer, under-fed roadie, and college radio DJ, Stepp has interviewed the family of Otis Redding, members of R.E.M., and more indie bands than she can remember. Portions of her work have appeared on the websites of Rolling Stone Germany, Paste, and The Village Voice. Stepp can normally be found furiously scribbling away in the corners of some venue in Athens, GA.
