"Stan has a great voice for a white guy!" -Dorothy Hill, Music Critic, Former TGGBS President
"Stan has one of the finest voices in blues and is very skilled with the guitar." -James Fox, Radio Host
"Soulful vocals ... scalding guitar!" -Peter 'Blewzzman' Lauro, Blues Editor, Mary4Music.com
Stan has hosted a number of Metro Fest 'Before & After Parties' at San Jose venues such as the Fairmont, the Radisson Plaza Hotel, and the Clarion Hotel. These events attract some of the best bay area blues players, and have included jams with Guitar Shorty, members of a Roomful of Blues, and many other festival touring acts.
Since moving to the SF Bay Area, Stan's played thousands of gigs, hosted numerous kick ass jam sessions (including the Coastside Jam near Half Moon Bay, CA, which is one of the oldest jams in the Bay Area), has backed a multitude of musicians & singers, and continues to produce fun blow out events -- such as the long running Vets To Vets Blues Festival in Princeton by the Sea, CA. Stan was one of a long line of accomplished guitar players providing support for harp master Little John Chrisley. He was the musical director for power house vocalist Marla Goody's 'Good-N-Plenty' Band. He's produced demos for aspiring songwriters, and recorded and performed with stellar bands such as Risk! (Chicago), Eddie O'Neale (Michigan & Chicago), Lost Luggage (Chicago), and Dean Leto & My Blue Soul (SF Bay Area). He's produced/co-produced shows at iconic San Francisco venues such as Slim's and the Great American Music Hall, and he's helped with numerous musician benefits. It's been a good road so far, and there's a lot of traveling left to do.
