Stacy Puckett & the One Man Poverty Band

To each his own, and to me the rest.

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorBorn and raised in a small town in southwestern Virginia. Over the last 20 years I have lived and gigged regularly from coast to coast. Most of my music fuses strong appalachian folk and delta blues influences into a mix of contemporary folk, rock, punk and country blues. (yawn)
I used to have a whole boring litany here of my credentials and whatnot, but ultimately it's about the music right? There's no record company running this profile, there's not a crew of band guys checking it.
It is what it is, and it's just me
ain't no savioir, gangster, hollywood movie star, ain't no PH.D.
I can't say I've not befriended criminals
I ain't choosin' things to be subliminal
Listen, let me know what you think. If you like it share it with your friends, or contact me about playing a gig in your area.
Have stompboard and guitar, will travel :)
