As the clock struck noon on a fateful Wednesday in a honky tonk in L.A., Joey Peters, Rich McCulley and Ted Russell Kamp formed Stash, a true all-star band of the L.A. country and roots music scene.
Stash is one of the finest and most soulful roots rock bands on the West Coast today. Their sound combines the road-tested richness of classic 70s country with a modern edge to make a timeless blend of Outlaw, old school country, and rock and roll.
Based on the songwriting team of drummer and producer Joey Peters (Grant Lee Buffalo, Cracker), guitarist, singer/songwriter and producer Rich McCulley (Geffen, Columbia) and bassist, singer/songwriter and producer Ted Russell Kamp (Shooter Jennings, Tanya Tucker, Duff McKagan), Stash has been writing, recording and singing songs about life and love, striving and surviving, yearning and learning, and pain and cheating. Satisfying melodies, driving grooves, twangy guitars, and whiskey-soaked vocals give a heartfelt urgency to every song they write and play.
Now’s the time, dive in, check out Stash.

He’s brought his classic, road-tested sound: satisfying melodies, chiming guitars, hummable harmonies, whirling organs … all the elements of catchy roots pop and recorded in a richly-arranged Americana style that is McCulley’s trademark. Ever present is his distinctive gravelly voice, providing a solid dose of heartfelt character throughout the songs.
