Stace (rhymes with ace) England hails from southern Illinois in the great American Midwest, and found his
creative footing in Chicago during the early ‘90s with House Afire, one of the first country/roots bands in what
was to become a very vibrant alt-country scene. House Afire enjoyed tremendous fan support and released one album, "Progress"
(Bigwood) in 1992. England returned to the isolation of rural southern Illinois and recorded a project of aggressive
folk material under the name Tecumseh, releasing the well-received "Bearings" (Union) in 1995. His next musical
adventure was with the alt/slasher/country-rock outfit Jubilee Songbirds, which released the eclectic "Birds of North
America" (Western Front) in 1997. England released his first solo record, “Peach Blossom Special” (Relay)
in 1999, garnering Release of the Year honors from Midwest music publication Nightlife and dozens of other strong reviews.
The driving power pop of his 2003 release, Lovey Dovey ALL the Time (Gnashville Sounds), highlighted his extensive musical
range and brought new fans into the fold. He has toured internationally, most recently in New Zealand, where his music
was enjoyed by 30,000 music fans at the famous Grey Lynn Festival in Auckland.
