Stevie Lee – Guitar, Vocals, Songwriter

Stevie Lee grew up deep in the South Florida swamps near West Palm Beach—which might explain both his gritty guitar tone and his suspicious immunity to mosquito bites. He picked up a guitar in 1979 at the age of 10 and hasn’t put it down since (except maybe to eat or change strings).

His early influences read like a Hall of Fame roster: Joe Perry, Gary Rossington, B.B. King, Ronnie Montrose, Duane Allman, and Steve Gaines. Basically, if they had soul, swagger, and six strings, Stevie was listening.

By 1985, he joined his first band and was gigging a year later—probably melting faces at smoky dive bars before he was old enough to legally enter them! As the band’s main songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist, Stevie brings the riffs, the lyrics, and occasionally the snark.

He rocks out on Gibson, Fender, and Epiphone guitars, run through Marshall, Fraley, and Carvin amps—because volume and tone are not negotiable.

Brett "STX" – Drums

Brett’s drum story started the old-school way—with a beat-up, hand-me-down kit from his older brother, Steve Holland, and a little father-son elbow grease. What began as banging on whatever made noise quickly turned into a lifelong obsession with rhythm (and probably a few noise complaints).

By grade school, Brett was already grooving in the jazz band. In high school, he basically lived in the band room—playing in the marching band, pep band, and jazz band. If it involved sticks and a beat, he was in.

He cut his teeth playing with local cover bands, but everything shifted when he joined Stackin’ Eights—where he finally got to do what he really loves: creating original music. His passion goes all the way back to the '70s, watching his brothers’ band, WAIGHT, rehearse in the basement. That’s where the seed was planted—and it’s been growing louder ever since.

In the 2000s, Brett was a human drum machine, playing in bands like Organized Chaos, Descent, Apartment F, National Dust, and The Hell Cats. In 2017, he hit the road with the legendary blues outfit The Beat Daddys, touring from Mississippi to Minnesota (and probably every Waffle House in between).

After a run with The Amazing Soul Crackers, Brett found his home behind the kit with Stackin’ Eights in the fall of 2021—where he still lays down the beat like his nobody's business!
