Stacy Jeffress began her freelance writing career in 2006 with the Kansas City Blues Society membership magazine. Her dedication and curiosity earned her a writing mentor in 2008 after an unforgettable first encounter with Don Wilcock, also of American Blues Scene, at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. She has served as director of the Paxico Blues Festival, bringing her love of blues and roots music to both the page and the stage.

“… Life has taught me I’m not responsible for anyone’s understanding of who I am. I’m just responsible for what I do when I walk out onto a stage or into a studio.”
“It’s like having a pet tiger you have to walk. Sometimes he’s going to turn on you, but you’ve got to walk him.”
“In show business, if you’ve been recognized for something you’ve done, you’re taking a big risk to do something different.”
“Packer loved to play for charity. He loved for different audiences to be exposed to his style if the blues. He truly was a Blues Ambassador, a mantle he proudly wore.”
“We just try to sit down and write the best songs we can. I think if we can do that, everything will take care of itself.”
