Steve Stubblefield, who had been exposed to gospel music in his Baptist minister grandfather’s church, drew inspiration from listening to the archival albums of renowned folk collector Alan Lomax and from meeting noted dulcimer player David Schnaufer (Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Hank Williams Jr.). Stubblefield eventually came upon the sound he wanted when he bought a dulcimer and took lessons on the instrument from Schnaufer.
Stubblefield has continued Starlings, TN as a solo recording project, resurfacing in 2010 with “Under The Influence” a covers album and a follow up studio album schedule for 2011.
