Today’s guest is Chris Stamey. He’s done A LOT! He grew up in North Carolina, playing bass with Mitch Easter and Peter Holsapple. They played in churches and coffee shops because those were the only places at the time that encouraged original music. Around this time he began studying music at the University of North Carolina. He transferred to NYU but because of some weird scheduling issues, his music studies translated to a degree in philosophy. But his time there also introduced him to Alex Chilton and Richard Lloyd. Richard played a huge part in the formation of one of Chris’ early bands, The dB’s. We barely scratch the surface of his career here.
Chris is very candid about his time in The dB’s as well as his latest album, Anything Is Possible. It took shape in a unique way and there are some unusual musical ideas there; like combining Humphrey Bogart with Roy Orbison. That’ll make more sense once you listen to the episode. The album is a journey through Chris’ evolution of musical loves and influences. Check it out on streaming platforms. Buy it wherever you can.
