Cracker Stackwell is the alter ego of Gary Tannenbaum. Playing acoustic blues, folk and fingerstyle composition for thirty five years, Cracker has played with some of the best around. He especially enjoys interpreting Reverend Davis songs (for some reason). His mission is to keep the blues and roots music alive and try to make the day a little brighter with music.
Mr. Stackwell's alter ego, Gary Tannenbaum contributed to livelying up the Morgantown, WV music scene with The Rosewood Theatre. So many awesome acts graced it's stage..... so many music lovers got their groove on there. Sadly, the Rosewood is silent now...... but music happens elswhere. It always does.
When not bending strings Cracker is running Morgantown's Blue Moose Cafe....good coffee, good food, and you can frequently find music in one form or another happening there. Stop on by.... www.thebluemoosecafe.com
Cracker has moved to Bethlehem, PA and is enjoying the Lehigh Valley music scene. Not being far from NYC an Philadelphia opens up some possibilities as well. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Hey there! Thanx for the request...a pleasure to have you as a new addition to the castle! Good tunes on your page....Enjoy the rest of your week:-) ~Queenie:-)X
Thanks for burning down the Wildflower last night! I guess I should have suspected it was going to happen when you started strumming your fireman's axe and flames appeared when you opened your mouth. It was a real joy basking by your fire. I hope you can return soon.
Hey Cracker Stackwell: Thanks for the friend request. Love that finger pickin! Miss the days when i did that w/ a good friend of mine, the guitars would harmonize every note, awesome stuff! When was the last time you heard one woman play wicked harp with unnaturally Long notes, sing emotionally charged powerful vocals, and play finger style guitar? Video clip: OctaviaBlues. com or @: http://youtube. com/watch?v=QALza6jabHE Take Care, all the very best, Hope to hear back from ya, Octavia
Hey there, Thank you so much for the add! It means a lot to have you as friend! Keep doing what you love, and give yourself a pat on the back for supporting the music!
