Stealth Stand News

  • This is the spot to follow our adventures!

    Hello friends and fam, we are happy to unveil our new “Stealth Stand News”, right here! Yes, now you don’t have to be on Facebook to follow our wild adventures (although you should be, because that’s where you can see us “live”, click HERE to like the page).

    So take a moment to bookmark this page, because there are all sorts of fun things on the Stealth Stand horizon, and we want you to come along. After all, it’s about Enjoying the Journey, and we have a lot more fun when y’all come along with us!

    OK, here’s the latest…

    We just got back from the NAMM Show, which we would describe as “the biggest music party on the planet”, and if you havent been, you really oughta go some year (You can see some of our pics of the show HERE). This is the place where all kinds of deals are being made, and you’ll see glammed out rockstars drinking martinis with Chinese guys in business suits, and 53 acres of non-stop music (yes, that’s how large the Anaheim convention center is!)

    Did we hook up the deal of a lifetime? Not really, but we met a lot of amazing musical folks and collected a Glad bag of business cards, and… guess what? This is what it’s all about! Last year at NAMM we ran around like a puppy dog and humped everyone’s leg, barking “look at me! Aren’t I cute? Don’t you want me in your life?”. Last year we thought we’d bump into a company that would say “Wow, the Stealth Stand is amaaazing, we want to buy it for ONE GAZILLION DOLLARS! (Oh, and please stop humping my leg)”.

    Well, obviously that didn’t happen, or this news article would have been called “Hello from Belize!”. But what we did come away with was the realization that this venture is going to take awhile, that we’ll most likely be traveling around and slinging stands for years to come, while we slowly build the Stealth Fam (of which you are a part!).

    So we’re looking at the Long Game now, and that means that every pair of eyeballs that sees the Stealth Stand is one step closer, and so we’re counting on you (yes, you) to get out there and use the heck out of your stand. Bring it to open mic, bring it to your next jam sesh, and tell your grandma she can use it to hold her Kindle so she can read Mists of Avalon hands free (and have a free hand for her Chardonnay).

    Remember, you are part of the team now, so… GO TEAM!

    What’s next? Well, we’ll be headed to Seattle in mid February for the legendary WIntergrass Festival, which is like a music college for folk and bluegrass music. They feature star studded performances with such acoustic luminaries as Mike Marshall, Tony Furtado, Beppe Gambetta, Darol Anger and much more! That means we’ll get to rub shoulders with these bluegrass Gods, and hopefully (fingers crossed) one of them will want a Stealth Stand… and then we’re off to the races 🙂

    If any of y’all are in the Seattle area, please send Braeden a text (530-566-3629) and he’ll be happy to have a pint with ya!

    Keep the dial right here, and stay in touch with us…

  • Meet our first Artist Endorser!

    Well, we finally got the attention of a rock star and… he loves the Stealth Stand!

    During Braeden’s last visit to LA he met Dan Stein, a driving force behind southern California’s Grateful Dead scene and the frontman for numerous popular bands including Shambala and The Peoples Dead.

    Braeden showed Dan a Stealth Stand and he immediately got the concept.

    “It’s like the Swiss Army knife of stands!” He exclaimed, shaking his Sammy Hagar hair in enthusiasm.

    “Perfect way of putting it” Braeden agreed. “One stand, 20 uses.”

    Dan went on to offer several great ideas to promote the stand, including using it to hold his Grateful Dead songbook while jamming on Ventura Beach.

    “Hand’s free dude, my book’s right there on my knee, and I can sit anywhere I want and rock out”

    Braeden nodded sagely. “And, you have an extra hand… for your beer!”

    It took less than an hour for the two to hammer out a deal. Dan will be promoting the Stealth Stand by making social media posts and using the stand for his “chillin on the beach” jams, and in return we’re going to let Dan give out a 15% discount to anyone who uses his personal code: dansdeal. Yep, all ya gotta do is click HERE and place your order, and then use the code to get your discount. And on top of this, we’ll be giving Dan some kickback for each sale. It’s a Win-Win-Win!

    As some of you may know, trying to eek out a living in the music biz is not easy, in fact it can be brutal.

    As Braeden likes to quip, “How do you get a musician off your porch? Pay him for the pizza!”

    So by taking advantage of this brand new “Dans Deal” you’ll be helping in several ways: supporting an up-and-coming musician, helping Stealth Stand be successful in it’s first ever Artist Endorsement Deal, and… saving some money on top of it!

    Stay posted right here because the Stealth Stand adventure is only just beginning, and we want you along. Go Stealth Fam!

  • Meet the new Mic-stand Mount

    Now you can mount your Stealth gear to a mic-stand, guitar stand or chair in front of you with our brand new Mic-stand Mount!

    We know that you know that one of the coolest things about the Stealth Stand is that it straps to your knee, but that wasn’t enough for us… we had to get ever cooler!

    Meet the Mic-stand Mount, it locks into the strap-slot of your Stealth Stand and fastens to any nearby pole. And after you have it mounted, you can then attach your add-on of choice. For example, our Page Tray transforms your mic-stand into a music stand, but with no need for another bulky stand taking up space!

    This new Stealth Stand add-on is just the latest in an ever-growing family of handy accessories that can be used with your basic model, including two sizes of clamps for phones and tablets, and a beer holder! (Just kidding, the beer holder isn’t actually a thing yet, but we’re working on it).

    So, if you’re already a Stealth Stand user, then you need this thing in your life! And if you haven’t joined the Stealth Fam then take a moment to watch our tutorial video HERE, and then you can order yours on the Stealth Stand website.

    We all know that whether you’re going to a jam, an open mic, or a concert, it’s all the gear you have to carry that is the real pain-in-the-*ss. And if you have one less stand to carry, that’s a big deal, that’s one less trip from the car!

    And we’re hearing daily about new uses for the Mic-stand mount, including someone who played guitar at a wedding and forgot their music stand. Luckily they had their Stealth Stand and adapter in their case, and were able to attach their music to a folding chair. Performance saved!

    So don’t dilly dally, go get your Mic-stand Mount HERE, and don’t forget to send us pics so we can include you on the new photo gallery.

    (Our model Zera Starchild is an up-and-coming Folk Star who is rising on National Folk Charts and Spotify HERE, be sure to give her a listen!)
