Hi! I'm Stacy Mitchhart. If you want to read the official biography you can go to my website ..StacyMitchhart.com and go to band biographies. Here's the casual and personal version.

I'm a musician!! One of the noblest proffessions in the world. Blues is my first love but I cheat on her with jazz, soul, funk, hip hop, neosoul, latin, classic rock, country & classical. But never heavy metal, punk, polka, etc. My music is my life, my wife, my mistress, my passion. I sing, play guitar, bass, and compose. I own my own record label, Dr Sam Records. I've put out 8 CDs and a DVD. They have done fairly well for me. Got my first Grammy Nod (first round nominee for Contemporary Blues Album) this year. Got my first 1 song(You Turn Me On) last year. It was in the niche Beach Music Market.

If nothing else, I'm determined. I'm 49 and I still get excited about doing this like I was 16 again. The guys in my band are like that too. Nothing I hate more than a musician who "mails it in" and takes it for granted. You've been given a gift, be thankful.

My professional advice to young folks, If you're asked to do something and it's something you wouldn't want your Mom to see or hear-- you should probably pass! I wish I'd never done that HBO thing-- nothing terrible but it made people look at me different and took focus off my musical career.

On a personal level, I LOVE sports. Basketball 1(when will the Knicks be good again?), Football2(Go Bengals, Titans). I'm very competetive. I'd like to believe that I still got a jump shot--let's go 1 on 1!lol

Love cards also- cribbage, spades, poker, & blackjack. I'm a Cadillac man. Love 'em. I've had a 68, (3) 69's, 81, 86, 93, & my 2003 Escalade. One day I'm gonna get the 2 that I want-- an off the frame restoration of a 68 drop top, and a triple white "Super Fly" laid out(diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene with a gangster lean) 73 sedan deville. I grew up in the 70's- I can't help it.

I tend to keep friends for life, something I'm proud of.

I hope you like my music, because it is an extension of me, and come to my shows when I get to your town.

Peace,
Stacy

Influences:

Stacy comes from a musically talented family. His grandfather played the fiddle, his uncle played drums and his grandmother played piano. I grew up listening to my parents albums - Wes Montgomery, Al Hirt, Herb Alpert, Boots Randolph, Ink Spots and the Mills Brothers. While my friends were listing to R&R, I was tuning into soul stations and jazz. I went to rock concerts, but the music never thrilled me at all. I would have rather listened to Sam Cooke.

Growing up in Cincinnati, my best friend’s father was my biggest musical influence. Frank Hedges was an unorthodox storefront preacher who played gospel as the blues. He put me in his band. We would always laugh at how he played guitar. He was never formerly taught. He didn’t just strum the guitar, but would smack it. There were these bass notes, drums, everything, I tried to do this in my playing. He played from his soul. He was my biggest guitar influence from a personal level.

Bobby Blue Bland is my favorite vocalist. He’s so smooth. He picks good material, does the classics and his own so well. He’s got style. BB King, of course, is a favorite. There’s a lot of him in my playing, without a doubt. At 14 I saw BB and Bobby together. I sneaked back stage and BB gave me his guitar pick. Albert Kings tone and intensity just really excites me. He’s the epitome of the blues guy. Same with Albert Collins, again, its tone and the super intense energy in the way he plays. Carlos Santana and Sly and the Family Stone were early musical influences. Wes Montgomery was a big influence. I was never influenced to play note for note. If I tried to emulate something, it was the tone.
