Chris Stamey is a singer, songwriter, and producer best known as a founding member of the influential jangle pop band The dB’s. Emerging from the North Carolina music scene in the late '70s, Stamey brought a distinctive blend of power pop sensibility and experimental edge to the band’s sound. Beyond his work with The dB’s, he’s had a prolific solo career, crafting thoughtful, literate pop music that explores everything from lush orchestration to stripped-down acoustic storytelling.
In addition to performing, Stamey has made a name for himself as a producer and collaborator, working with artists like Yo La Tengo, Alejandro Escovedo, and Whiskeytown. His solo releases—including recent projects like Anything Is Possible and the two-part album The Robust Beauty of Improper Linear Models in Decision Making—showcase his enduring creativity and passion for blending classic pop craftsmanship with modern exploration. Whether behind the mic or behind the board, Stamey has remained a quietly influential force in American indie and alternative music.
