Dave Stuckey

Dave Stuckey has been swinging his way through Los Angeles for a decade now, but his musical adventures as guitar player and drummer go back farther than that, through Western Swing – he just copped the 2020 Ameripolitan Award in the Western Swing (male) category –  Rockabilly and  pre-bop Jazz with The Lucky Stars, Dave Stuckey & The 4 Hoot Owls, The Dave & Deke Combo and The Bonebrake Syncopators. 

Along the way he’s been around the world, shared the stage with rockabilly legends & traditional/swing jazz hotshots and while writing, recording & producing, has generally managed to create a wide-ranging ruckus. 

These days the main dish on the menu has been The Hot House Gang, a hard-charging outfit that channels an Eddie Condon small-group drive with jiving vocals that might conjure thoughts of Wingy Manone or Fats Waller. With any show from The Gang, a regimen of vigorous rug-cutting is always prescribed. 

Rhythm is his business – and business is swell!
