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, splitting his time between WV and PA and is enjoying the Lehigh Valley music scene. Not being far from NYC an Philadelphia opens up some possibilities as well.

The Hosting of the Sidhe
The host is riding from Knocknarea And over the grave of Clooth-na-Bare; Caolite tossing his burning hair, And Niamh calling Away, come away: Empty your heart of its mortal dream. The winds awaken, the leaves whirl round, Our cheeks are pale, our hair is unboun, Our breasts are heaving, our eyes are agleam, Our arms are waving, our lips are apart; And if any gaze on our rushing band, We come between him and the deed of his hand, We come between him and the hope of his heart. The host is rushing twixt night and day, And where is there hope or deed as fair? Caolite tossing his burning hair, And Niamh calling Away, come away.
