Stagger Lee was formed in  April of 1981 when band founder Bobby Joe Mueller named the group after the 1958 hit song made famous by Lloyd Price.  For many years they have performed, and still do quality music for thousands of loyal fans, from the clubs and concerts of the tri-state area to the recording studios of Nashville.  They are very thankful for their success in the music business and pride themselves on being consistent, hard-working, professional musicians.  Check their Calendar to see where and when they'll be in your area.  Come see for yourself why they've been voted the Cammy Award's "Best Band in Cincinnati" for two consecutive years!  THANKS to all the friends and family who continue to support us after all these years!  After all, it's all about good times and great friends!  "Great music is that which  penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty." ---Sir Thomas Beecham
