Stacy Carolan is from a tiny town called Loveland in southwestern Iowa. He received his Bachelor of Music degree in trumpet performance from the University of Minnesota Duluth in 2010, and is currently pursuing his Master of Music degree in trumpet performance at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. In his lifetime he has been an a cappella singer, blackjack dealer, mascot, knife salesman, pool hall employee, groundskeeper, roofer, jingle writer, and phonebook delivery specialist. In July of 2007 he married the love of his life, Lauren Alexander. While in Duluth one Sunday afternoon, Stacy fell asleep on the couch after drinking an odd-tasting beverage Bill had prepared for him and, when he came to, found himself in the First United Methodist Church with a bell in his hand, thirty-two measures into Wizards In Winter, and having to bring treats to the next rehearsal. After much deliberation, he decided on muffins.
