Clay Stafford
Clay “Still a Southern Boy” Stafford of Atlanta, Georgia, originally, but currently bringing the down home culture to the good folks of Denver, Colorado, is the master blaster of acoustic-driven rock. His pop flavorings have been described as “country rock” in a variety of media offerings but the truth is it's just good music. Straight from the heart of an honest soul and written and performed with unparalleled passion, it doesn't matter from whence you hail – his music will rock you to the bone and do it with the finesse of fine acoustic rhythms.
Music does two things. It feeds the soul and it also opens the floodways from the inside. “Music is my out,” declares Stafford. “It's where I can sit down and block out the rest of the world.” And therein lies the irony. For in the very process in which Stafford fines his solitude and shelter is where the great music stems, that compelling aural art that draws in the world. It's where connections are made, performer meeting listener and forming a bond unlike any other. It just goes to show that we're all the same down inside. Stafford has the ability to share that truth through music that is entertaining and truthful. “Music gives me a chance to put my thoughts and interactions with people and things into a tangible device that can be captured forever and shared with others.”
Stafford writes and performs because he breathes. These things are all intertwined. One cannot exist without the other. For Stafford to keep on keepin' on, he must have sustenance. And that goes beyond bread and water. Music, too, is required. “If there wasn't music, I don't think I would feel like I had a purpose in the world,” he says. In turn, he offers a sense of purpose through his stimulating and exciting music. It's hard to walk away uninspired from the tunes of this musician. Stafford lives and breathes music and his songs will leave you keenly aware of your own living and breathing. Which is to say, he makes you feel alive!
We've seen that Stafford has the talent and passion to succeed. But there's one more factor that must be considered. Sheer force of will. And Stafford has that in spades. “As weird as it is, my biggest inspiration comes from those who say I can't do something.” No hurdle ever stopped Stafford. It only egged him on. The challenges of being a musician only drive him to be a better one. Greatness is all over the map with this musical powerhouse.
Stafford was featured in Colorado Buzz Magazine recently and has impressed audience after audience with his bodacious live show. His fusion of folksy country flavors and the vigor of rock have earned him devoted fans wherever his music has been heard. He is songwriter, lyricist and musician all wrapped up in one and his singular talent is evident in every song. He plays and writes constantly and a sophomore album is under way in the studio. Stafford is currently working with A&R Select, the hottest indie A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.
“Clay Stafford is the real deal, offering the sumptuous richness of down home America wrapped up in the rambunctious rebelliousness of pure-D rock-n-roll goodness.”
