“I’m holding on to that wayward wind -

And it’s blowing strong,

Nothing’s felt like this

Before.” – Do What You Do

“It’s a mystery,

Where we all come from,

I’d like to share a little piece of my story,

Hope you don’t mind if I open up….” – My Father

 Stacey Joy’s heritage, like her music, is a ‘mix of almost everything’.

Born in the foothills of Northern California, she taught herself piano at the age of five and has been playing with melodies ever since. At nineteen she left home and went to live in Mendoza, Argentina, where, inspired by the down-to-earth music of the gauchos, she picked up the guitar and began experimenting with songs.

She then worked her way around the world, seeking out the music that reflected the stories, souls, hopes and fears of every day people - from the searing rhythms of Brazil to the haunting ballads of the high Andes and celtic traditions to the rich folk, blues, swing and native songs of her homeland.

Stacey Joy’s own sound was fused along the way.

Unlike many artists, who all too often tend to get stuck in one place, Stacey Joy refuses to be limited in any way.  She is a musical nomad whose uncompromising gypsy soul can be felt in the real and raw vibrancy of her songs and the compelling energy of her live performances.

‘My home is the road. I love the flow of it. I meet members of my tribe every day. In every town, city, state, country, island. My people are everywhere, and we’re growing. There’s a soulful revolution happening right now. I see it, I feel it and I’m grateful to be a part of it.”

Stacey Joy's breakthrough album, The Journey Unfolds, was nominated in four categories at the prestigious New Mexico Music Awards in 2017, including Best of the Year, Best Singer/Songwriter, Best Recording Engineer and Best Americana. She went on to win the award for Best Americana Artist with her song, Breathing Light. 

“In just a little while

I’ll be waking up

To see,

This beautiful dream,

And I won’t

Take for granted a thing.” – Blessed

“The first time I discovered Breedlove guitars I was in a huge store looking for the perfect guitar. I’d just finished my first tour and was ready to start writing some new songs. The guitar I’d been using hadn’t stood up to the rigours of touring very well, and I knew it was time to invest in something a little more robust.

 Beyond that, there was the sound to consider... I’d never found a guitar that matched up to what I heard in my imagination. And that was frustrating.

 I worked my way through the racks of guitars. The big name brands left me cold, which came as something of a surprise. There was no doubting the quality of some of them, but there was always something missing in the way they sounded.

 Then I picked up a Breedlove. It was a beautiful guitar with a full mahogany body. I was spellbound by the look and feel of it, but I’d spent so many hours being disappointed I was afraid to play it lest the magic be lost on the first strum.

I didn’t have to worry. The warmth and richness of the tone was exactly what I’d been searching for. It was love at first play, and we’ve been together ever since!"

“Under ever changing skies,

Together we travel far,

Over vast plains we wander,

Never forget who we are.” – Elephants
