Stacy Boyd was born in Franklin County, VA and grew up in the area where Buffalo Ridge and Dry Hill roads meet.  Stacy’s great grandfather was an old time fiddler on his mother’s side of the family, but his first memories of music being played was on his father’s side when his dad started playing the banjo.  As a teenager, Stacy would follow along with his dad, Jimmy Boyd, and the Dry Hill Draggers as they played for dances and festivals around the area where he learned how to square dance and flatfoot.  Stacy learned to play bass mostly by watching Cordell Pinkard (one of the bass players with the original lineup of the Draggers in the '80s) whose strong and steady bass beat was the old time style Stacy picked up and still plays today.  Stacy started filling in on bass with the Draggers at some shows starting in the mid 90’s.
       
Stacy has since moved from Franklin County and now lives in Laurel Fork in Carroll County, VA.  In 2007 when Stacy's son, Jared, started learning to play banjo, The Dry Hill Draggers had just regrouped and Stacy started playing bass full time in the band.  Over the years he has placed in many bass contests and band competitions, including receiving the Barbara Poole Memorial Bass Award (second place) in 2014 at the 79th Galax Old Fiddlers Convention.  Currently Stacy enjoys playing the old time tunes he learned from the Draggers with the Twin Creeks Stringband.
