Ryan Clackner and Lucy Cochran plus a rotating cast of rhythm section players make up Stump Tail Dolly, a groundbreaking Nashville band merging Country and Metal in unthinkable ways. The band’s debut EP, ‘Americonoclasm’, has been well received by press as well as fans that have followed the pair from their previous endeavors. Collectively, Clackner and Cochran have worked with Bob Wayne, Fifth on the Floor, The Legendary Shack Shakers, JD Wilkes, The Pistol Annies, Shooter Jennings, Red Simpson, and many others. They’ve opened for the likes of Social Distortion, Tiger Army, Hank III, George Thorogood, Unknown Hinson, Roger Clyne, JJ Grey, and Scott H. Biram.
About to embark on their 21 date tour for ‘Americonoclasm’ starting in Kentucky, routing through the plains and moutain states and circling back down to Tennessee, the band is riding the wave of buzz surrounding their debut release. (For a complete list of tour dates, visit www.stumptaildolly.com)
Shooter Jennings describes the band as “Unlike anything I’ve ever heard.” and Dean Ween adds “Ryan Clackner is the best guitarist I have ever seen, and that’s saying a lot.”
Most recently, Stump Tail Dolly left a lasting impression on the Chicago-based Moonrunners Music Festival. “If you haven’t heard Stump Tail Dolly yet, are you afraid of something? Because you should be. They bring a full range of country-tinged metal to the stage, fueled by blistering fiddle licks, vocals, and stage presence from Lucy Cochran and the monster-sized guitar skills of Ryan Clackner. New Band of the Year?”
Fans of Outlaw Country, Frank Zappa, Bluegrass, Primus, Fantomas and early Mastodon will be happily blown to shreds by this band melded by Clackner’s renowned guitar presence and Cochran’s award-winning contest fiddle chops.
