Combining masterful storytelling, virtuosic instrumental work, and heartfelt vocals, Stan presents original music and reinterpreted Americana classics, drawing inspiration from the blues and folk traditions.
Stan's music has been praised for its "spot-on accuracy that touches the heart" (Lucky Clark, On Music) and his songs’ ability to offer "a calming and reassuring piece of music about uncertain and turbulent times" (This Week in Maine Music). He is known for his captivating performances, with one concert presenter writing: "Your performance...had the audience in the palm of your hand... Your guitar work was outstanding" (Don Peterson, Belgrade Union Church Coffeehouse)
Stan's latest CD, "REFUGE," features upbeat music and poignant lyrics that "reach deep" and offer "a gentle healing, a catharsis, a balm, a blessing" during challenging times (Ruth Herz).
In this concert at Cadenza on April 5th, Stan will weave stories and songs that explore the themes of family, resilience, and humor across the human lifespan. Learn more about Stan at his website: standavismusic.com.
