SmokeStack and the Foothill Fury

This is the official SmokeStack and the Foothill Fury.....all others void, you know its me, and if you are impersonating me, I will kick ya a new one....don't believe me, come try me

SmokeStack, born March 23, 1978, originally hails from the great corn state of Iowa, but soon after ended up a Navy brat, and called Florida home. By age seven he ended up in Georgia, and stayed there for the most part, save a couple of extended trips to Iowa and eight months in North Carolina.

He dropped out of High School at age 16, getting GED, and diving into the construction/carpentry field. Now a journeyman carpenter, and enjoying the more so remodel/refinishing side of hammerswingin'. SmokeStack recently has been playing music again,and the word is out, HIS SHOWS ARE AMAZING. Incorporating the hard, all day energy needed for construction, and putting it into the great art of song writing and performing(Which some say SmokeStack was born to do). He plans on finding or making his niche'. MADE IN AMERICA

Matters what night it is. SmokeStack and the Foothill Fury is a sure enough, hard drivin', one man band. Incorporating snare, bass drum, and others.SmokeStack's energy comes from things forgotten in todays society....The music should renew your take on original music made today

Basically a self-made man. Taking care of what is needed to get by, and barely doing so sometimes. He has managed to create and learn some hard-earned knowledge rarely even cared about today. Always having to fix his own cars and trucks through-out life. Farming what little land in hand and doing work for rent has kept everything modest and humbling. Prepared for change, but remembering the great things of the past has always been the way he has led his life.

SmokeStack and the Foothill Fury or just Smokey himself have shared the bill with some mighty fine acts. Including Colonel Bruce Hampton, The Derek Trucks Band, Jeff Coffin, Vince Herman and Drew Emmitt of Leftover Salmon, Rev. Jeff Mosier, Grease Factor, Jeff Sipe, MudCat, Johnny Neel, Derek Jones, King Johnson, Donna Hopkins Band, Big City Sunrise, Barry Richman, Ralph Roddenberry, Beverly Guitar Watkins, Frankie's Blues Mission, Lola Gulley, Sammy Blue, Donnie McCormick of Eric Quincy Tate, the Rib Tips, Bob Wayne and the Outlaw Carnies, Ben Prestage, Jeff Fedora(man behind the Daytona Blues Society), Eddie Tigner, Lil' Joe from Chicago, Cathy Carlisle, Scott Biram, Black Diamond Heavies, Bob Log III, Left Lane Cruser, Hillstomp,and many others. Some memorable moments are:.....Any given moment at the Northside Tavern. The rockin' out of his somewhat home town of Gainesville, Georgia every Mule Camp Market weekend for the past five years, Sage Fest in Georgia, Moon Mountain Zambifest, Hemlock Festival, Deep Blues Festival, Hamline Folk Festival, and many benefits for the ones he loves. Including Beverly Guitar Watkins at Darwin's, Cora Mae Bryant's Sweet Petunia day, and Mr. Frank Edwards Chicken Raid at the Northside Tavern.
