“I haven’t collaborated since high school, but the desire to be better has pushed me to,” says Steven Stubblefield, leader of Austin-based band Starlings, TN (pronounced Starlings, Tennessee) which will release its seventh studio album All The Good Times on Nov 12^th via Chicken Ranch Records.

It’s been a long time since those days for Stubblefield, who emerged from a punk rock background to found the roots-based group in 2001 with current band member Tim Bryan, and the late David Schnaufer, famed dulcimer player and instructor (Cyndi Lauper was a student), who was widely credited with restoring the cultural popularity of the instrument.

According to Bryan, Schnaufer used to say “whoever shows up and plays is a Starling, and whoever listens is visiting Starlings, Tennessee.  I know he would love this new album and lineup.”  It’s a reassuring thought considering the shake-up in the way Starlings, TN usually does things that came with the collaborative nature of All The Good Times. “I couldn’t pick a better group of musicians or friends to join in this endeavor,” Bryan says. “We have grown together musically and personally. Indeed, all the good times are now.”

The album is preceded by the single “Burnt Ends,” which for any Texan, doesn’t really need much explanation. “It’s what I like most about Texas barbeque!” Stubblefield exclaims, saying exactly what we’re already thinking.  The new Starlings, TN full-length album All The Good Times will be released on November 12^th.   Steve Stubblefield is available for interviews.  Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
