Chris will be making a special trip up from Chapel Hill, NC, to premiere new material from his upcoming summer release, Anything Is Possible (due July 11 on Label 51 Recordings), as well as a selection of songs from across his more than 5 decades spent "poised between pen and pick," many of which were originally recorded right here in Hoboken.

Chris Stamey began writing and playing music in Winston-Salem, NC, in the mid 1960s. In 1976, he self-released Sneakers, one of the very first American “indie” records, then relocated to Manhattan in 1977 to play and record with Alex Chilton. He formed The dB’s in 1978, then recorded well-received solo records for A&M and Warners, and toured with Anton Fier’s Golden Palominos (with Michael Stipe [R.E.M.], Jack Bruce [Cream], and Bernie Worrell). As a producer, arranger, and mixer, he has worked with over a hundred artists, including Alejandro Escovedo, Kronos Quartet, Flat Duo Jets, Skylar Gudasz, Branford Marsalis, Ryan Adams, Tift Merritt, Le Tigre, Those Pretty Wrongs, The Salt Collective, and Yo La Tengo. From 2010-2018, Stamey was orchestrator and musical director for an international series of concert performances of Big Star’s classic album Third. A “songwriting memoir,” A Spy in the House of Loud (Univ. of Texas Press), was published in 2018. His recent releases include The Great Escape, Lovesick Blues, Euphoria, and New Songs for the 20th Century. His new album, Anything Is Possible, features collaborations with the Lemon Twigs and members of Brian Wilson’s band.
