Joe Stacy is a Singer Songwriter from Lexington Kentucky, He is a Veteran of the Global War on Terror serving 6 years and 3 deployments in the US Navy on board the USS Harry S Truman aircraft carrier.  In 2016, He recorded his debut album, Slight Dark Turn, with Josh Evans at Nubs Dubs Studios.  Though the album is new, most of the songs were written in the mid 90's to the early 2000's.  Many songs contain elements of the world's climate during these times.  Joe revised most of the songs while recording them to try to add maturity and experience to them.  "I try to make sure that the pain and passion is there, but I never want to leave feeling of hopelessness.  I try to make sure that there is positivity and hope at the end because that's how we make it through the dark times."  (Joe on Slight Dark Turn) "I think we were all pretty depressed back then (the 90's).  We watched our heroes die of drugs or suicide, It wasn't fully okay for people to be what they were born to be, a lot of suppressing feelings and forced conformance going on back then.  Some people have taken it too far in the other direction and are actively seeking something to find offensive, but all in all these are more positive times, granted we've seen war, we've seen struggle, we've seen real evil, and we've seen fear, but we've seen people overcome that in defiance.  Lately it seems there has been an intense backslide to that progress.  I tried to capture some of these things beyond the personal and emotional stuff on the album.  I felt the need to represent my generation, and some of the frustrations we see today"
