Stealth Stand^® inventor Braeden Lewis at Bela Fleck’s Blue Ridge Banjo Camp, August 2023 — the maiden flight!

Stealth Stand inventor Braeden is a child of the Hippy Generation, and his mom and dad met in San Francisco at the corner of Haight and Ashbury streets in 1965 with flowers in their hair.

“I credit my homeschooling on a hippy bus for why I’ve always always been very creative” Says Braeden. “but to be honest it’s not been easy!”

Braeden worked odd jobs and played in many bands as he adapted to “normal” society, living the artists life.

“My first real job was at Kentucky Fried Chicken” he remembers, “I stood at an assembly line holding an enormous mayonnaise gun, firing mayo at burger buns as they rolled down the assembly line. I was the Rambo of mayo!”

He walked out a week later.

Eventually he put together a program for teaching music and traveled around the country leading classes at music festivals. This evolved into his current online music school the JamAlong Music Method, which now employs many teachers and services students across the globe.

It was at one of these music festivals when he has his Eureka moment.

“I kept seeing students who didn’t have a music stand, and were trying to balance their music papers or phones on their knees. Or, the opposite problem: all I could see was music stands, they we’re so big and bulky!”

Then it hit him, like a lightening bolt: What if there was a mini music stand that mounted on your knee? Well, a year of hard work and testing later, there is… the Stealth Stand!

“It’s been quite a journey, but now I get to see more and more musicians gain freedom from traditional music stands and enjoy having their papers and phones right there on their knees. And now it’s your turn to join the story, welcome to the Stealth Fam!”
