Stacey Anne: Southern California's Premiere Female Country Vocalist
Pro country singer / songwriter and Los Angeles native Stacey Anne has been around a stage or two. A four-time headliner at Treasure Island Casino & Resort (with the honor of being featured on the marquee on the Las Vegas Strip), Stacey Anne has performed in front of crowds of thousands at concerts all over California and beyond. But never one to be pigeonholed, Stacey Anne also sings in many other styles, fronting some of the best bands in the region. Learn More About Stacey Anne.
Stacey Anne came of age in the urban jungle of Los Angeles - but she found her voice as a vagabond. First moving around the US’ west coast, then making Scotland her home base “across the pond,” she then embarked upon a month-long solo backpacking trip across Europe: Her most formative experience to date. Other countries and continents soon followed.
Inspired by Stacey Anne’s travels, yet colored by an ever-present nostalgia for home, her early material explored dislocation and fleeting connections made in unlikely places (such as “Pisco Sour,” written on Peru’s Inca trail). But after gaining inspiration from visits to Nashville, Austin, and New Orleans, her original material evolved into a unique hybrid of country and Americana.
Stacey Anne eventually returned to - and settled in - Los Angeles (her childhood home), and now performs regularly as a solo artist and with her country band, “The Master Plan.” Favorite recent appearances: Gilley’s on the Las Vegas Strip (headlining four times to date); SHINE Storytelling’s sold-out “Unexpected Grace” show at the Santa Monica Repertory Theater; and a virtual original showcase through MetropolitanZoom - the virtual counterpart to New York City's famous Metropolitan Room.
Stacey Anne is proud to be a Nashville on the Coast artist.
the all-star musicians of THE MASTER PLAN
Eric Davis (guitarist/ lead vocalist) is a native Californian hailing from sunny San Diego. With over 20 years of experience as a pro musician, Eric has mastered nearly every musical style and form, from rock and metal, to introspective folk ballads, and now.... country! Eric works with some of Southern California's top singer-songwriters, and is proud to include Stacey Anne in that short list. When he's not on stage, Eric also moonlights as an audio book engineer, and is passionate about personal training.
Emiliano Almeida, drummer for The Master Plan, is a multi-talented musical dynamo! A professional drummer, percussionist, music producer, and DJ , Emiliano is a Latin Grammy winner with Bajo Fondo Tango Club, a Coachella music award winner with Sin Fronteras, and a busy session musician for labels such as Sony, Warner, Universal, and Interscope. He is endorsed by Paiste Cymbals, Vater Drumsticks, Tycoon Percussion instruments, and Fidock Australian drums.
Maurilio Mina (bass guitar) is a highly sought-after and busy country bass player (he and Stacey Anne have performed together in two other country projects). He has opened for Kix Brooks (of Brooks & Dunn) at Toby Keith’s club in Rancho Cucamonga, and for Toby Keith at an exclusive event in Wyoming. Maurilio is also a talented engineer and bass guitar builder; he is an in-house engineer with Nordstrand Audio, and has his own bass guitar design shop, Mina Bass Design.
Avelino ("Avi") Ramirez (keyboard/ synth) improbably got his start as a keyboardist in the symphonic metal world! While a whiz at classical piano, he especially shines when replicating any variety of instrument on his keyboard. Avi and Stacey Anne have played together for years (this is their third project together... but who's counting?)
