Born in Westlock, AB, he was heavily influenced by the classic country stylings of George Jones, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty, and Waylon Jennings. With his dad always listening to these classsic artists you understand where his influences originate from.

In 2008 Stan won the Global Country Star Search in Edmonton and gained a little more attention and learned a lot about the Industry as well. Besides being a dynamic performer in the classic country style Stan is also becoming an accomplished songwriter having penned and performed much of his own material. He is currently in pre - production of a new album which is scheduled to be released in spring of 2010.

Press:

"Stan Hitchcock brings a modern touch to old school country music, without losing the values that made it legendary in the first place. In today's “country” music, that is closer to the Pop world of the 1990s than to anything resembling Hank, Johnny, Waylon and Willie, Stan Hitchcock is a breath of fresh air, a shot of honesty, giving new life to a genre overcome by frauds and charlatans. In a day and age where music is geared toward teenagers, ever-increasingly, the music of Stan Hitchcock is something real for those of us who remember when Country music was about real life – drinkin', cheatin', trains and the afterlife. Thank goodness for people like Stan Hitchcock giving this genre the shot in the arm that it needs!!" -Cory Noel CKFM 96.5 FM Radio
