Dave Stamm
 
Dave is a long-time rocker who's been playing guitar, singing, and performing since he was 10 years old; he started playing in club bands at age 16.  Growing up in Harrisburg among many musicians, Dave met and played with a lot of guitar players and local bands. 

Dave was very active in high school band, jazz band, and chorus while also taking college level music theory classes.  Dave loves all types of music and provides lead vocals, guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass, keys, and an occasional trumpet!. 

The band has been performing since 1996 and gives 100% at each show.  Today, The Lucky Afternoon Band can perform a wide variety of music including rock, oldies, country, disco, big band, and bluegrass!

Dave is retired and enjoys boating, fishing, the gym, the casino, house projects, and...anything he wants to do...!!



"We can't begin to thank all of our fans, friends, family, and followers for the overwhelming support the band has received in recent years."
 

 

David "Stick" Stamm

Stick, (aka "Stick") earned B.A. degrees in Music and English.  Stick has been a Lucky Afternoon member for over 20 years and plays a USA Gibson Flying V bass.  He also sings lead & backup vocals along with playing trumpet and flute for a few tunes.  Stick loves ALL genres of music but especially the 80s hair-band music. Stick has a unique ability for bass note memorization and loves throwing in extra bass runs.  Stick previously worked in the retail food industry management but in 2018, he jumped ship and now is working in the IT Radiology field (where his dad & mom retired from).

Look for Stick to be spending time with Jess, eating Chinese food, hangin' with his buddies gaming, and plotting a new on-stage jumping scheme! He's just fun to watch on stage!  (Ask him if he knows who his real dad is)
Warning:
Stick has more energy on stage than a Nuke Plant!!!!
