Stan Bozek, a native of upstate NY, has been playing music as long as he can remember. Beginning with a cheap, barely tuneable "toy" guitar at age 5, he started serious lessons at age 9 with jazz guitarist and Columbia recording artist George O'Dell. The lessons ended 4 and 1/2 years later but the learning continued as Stan began studying classical guitar and the Chet Atkins style simultaneously. By age 18, he was playing in country, country rock and pop bands in upstate NY and was soon a highly regarded and sought after player as well as a vocalist, performing at clubs, weddings, fairs and other outdoor events, in addition to recording with many NY musicians. Several trips to Nashville TN helped to broaden Stan's opportunities and recording sessions and work with road bands followed as a result. In recent years, Stan has shared the stage or opened for many nationally known acts including Sheryl Crowe, Pam Tillis, Valerie Smith, Ray Price, Joe Diffie, Lee Greenwood, the Grass Roots, Dr. Hook, Chris LeDoux, Hal Ketchum, Herman's Hermits, Edgar Winter, David Lee Roth, The Larkins, and Blues great James Peterson. For 16 years, Stan toured extensively as lead guitarist for the Dennis Lee Show, a popular comedy and music show in the fair circuit. In 2010, he took a year and a half hiatus to spend time with his family and work at promoting a new family band - "AmeriKinfolk". 2012 saw the release a CD recorded live with the DL Band featuring 15 songs that include Country, Oldies Rock 'n' Roll, a little Blues, some instrumentals and a vocal on "Ring Of Fire". His latest CD, "In God's Country" was released in December 2015. Songs from Stan's instrumental CDs are played extensively on pandora.com and other internet radio stations. When Stan is not freelancing with bands, he is usually performing as a solo instrumentalist. He also teaches guitar and is available for fill-in work whenever possible. Future plans include recording a CD of all acoustic music and also one with a more rocking feel and full band accompaniment. Music from Stan's previous CDs is currently played on several Internet Radio Stations including Pandora.com, Christmas 24/7, Radio Guitar and Winterscapes. Besides his versatility on guitar, Stan also plays dobro, upright and electric bass and sings. One of the high points of his career was and still is when Chet Atkins complemented Stan's recording of some of his original compositions.
