Born on September 18, 1949, Stan had his first guitar at age 6. It was a Roy Rogers model, (which went great with his cowboy boots, hat and guns!) He played it until it fell apart - and he's been playing ever since.
In 1966, when he was 17, Stan joined his first professional band, The Morticians. With their regional #1 hit, "Little Latin Lupe Lou", they toured the western US, and opened for a variety of well-known groups, including Buffalo Springfield, The Seeds, Paul Revere & the Raiders, and The Turtles.
Stan went solo after that, playing solo acoustic guitar (folk blues), opening for acts including Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee, Earl Scruggs, and Country Joe and the Fish, Phillip Walker, Bob Margolin, Foghat, Anson Funderburgh, Little Charley & the Night Cats, Johnny Copeland, Albert Collins, James Harmon....
--The list goes on.
Stan also continues an ongoing collaboration with Eric McFadden, doing acoustic duets.He continues to teach guitar at various Workshops, and some private lessons.
His work has also included several videos, "Roly Poly Blues" for PBS, (documentary soundtrack) and "Put Yourself in my Place" with Pam Tilles, which reached the top of the charts and aired nationally and internationally.
The Arts Channel also commissioned a video titled, "Stanton Hirsch - Solo Artist".
