Country Swag Founder Stephanie Wagner grew up in Broad Channel, a tight-knit community in Queens, NY. She began her career in event management at a young age with IGC Hospitality, a prominent food and beverage company in NYC.

While organizing several successful country music events with IGC, Stephanie saw the untapped potential for country music in New York City. Combining her passion for country music and event planning, she founded Country Swag (formerly NYCountry Swag).

Stephanie credits her mother with inspiring her love of music. From watching music videos and awards shows to listening to classic artists like Patsy Cline and Elvis Presley, her earliest memories of music are tied to her mom.

Fun Fact: The name “Swag” was a nickname long before Country Swag was born—derived from her initials, S WAGner.
