Stu Massey - I was born into a very musical family in Kirkwood,  Missouri.  Being the second youngest of 6 children, I was very influenced  at an early age by the music emminating from the record players of my older  siblings.  The Beatles, Carole King, The Moody Blues, King Crimson, The Who  and so many other great artists are very inspirational to me.  In 1975, I  discovered two things that would change my life.  The first was KSHE  radio and the second was my Brother's Fender Jazz Bass.  I poured myself  into both and the rest is history; from playing in basements and garages in  the 8th grade to playing at High Dances, Parties, and Night Clubs in High School  and Clubs, Benefits, and Festivals in recent years.  My most recent work  has been with the classic rock band, Jam Central Station, and the St Louis Judas  Priest Tribute Band, Priest Unleashed.
