About Me

The Atlas Stucco Trio is what happens when Atlas Stucco, Daniel Stucco and Edward Stucco get together and play music.Atlas used to be a solo acoustic performer who filled in the spot vacated by Rufus Wainwright in a series of cabaret styled shows called YAWP's in his native Montreal back in the late 1990's. Atlas eventually formed a four piece band that drew comparisons to Bob Dylan's "Desire" era band - it must've been the fiddle. In 2000 he recorded a CD called Head Start and promptly left Montreal for Toronto.In Toronto Atlas toured and recorded with singer/songwriter/diva Linda M and did some session work while playing solo gigs in and around Ontario. Edward Stucco, who had played drums on Head Start, relocated to Toronto in 2002 and they began to play shows with a succession of wonderful but wildly unavailable bass players.A chance meeting at a celebrity karoke event put bassist Daniel Stucco into their sights and at last the Atlas Stucco Trio became flesh. A far more electric and rocking affair than previous Stucco offerings, the band is known for their legendary shows at Toronto's Cameron House.

Band Members: ATLAS STUCCO Atlas used to be Chris Houston, but there's a guy with that name already who wrote some songs with a punk group back in the 70's, so now Chris is Atlas. He came from Montreal and plays guitar and sings songs he writes about stuff he can't get off his mind. He is a Leo and his favorite color is green.EDWARD STUCCO Edward used to be just Ed but now insists on being called Edward. Ed plays drums and sometimes he sounds like several people playing at once, but it really just him, we've checked. He is from Montreal and is a Sagittarius.DANIEL STUCCO Daniel is never ever referred to as Dan or Danny by Ed and Atlas - but he doesn't seem to mind it when people use those names. He came from South Beach Florida and Tennessee - and Saint Catharines Ontario before that. He plays the bass and sings too. Daniel is a Taurus and is enchanted by the concept and history behind the paint by numbers movement.
