Doc Stovall

A native Virginian, Doc has been associated with music most of his life. His earliest influences include the traditional music associated with the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountain areas of the South, handed down from generation to generation since it’s inception in Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales. He is well known as a Western singer and cowboy poet throughout America, having performed in twenty-five of the fifty states. Honored in 2002 as Georgia’s Official Cowboy Balladeer by the Georgia State Legislature, he has entertained audiences both young and old as he strives to keep alive the history of the West in music and song.  In November of 2004, Doc was inducted into the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame, the first cowboy singer so honored.

In addition to musical entertainment, Stovall provides discussions on the origins of traditional cowboy music as it relates to the Western entertainment and presents programs and seminars on the writing and recitation of cowboy poetry. In these presentations, he traces the roots of this genre to its beginnings at the “back of the chuck wagon” on the cattle drives to northern railheads.
