Guy Story
Songwriter and guitarist Guy Story spent the better part of three decades deeply embedded in the technology industry.
Working for the likes of Bell Laboratories, Amazon, and, as the founding CTO at Audible, Guy had an early footprint in startup culture, digital media, and rights management, all of which have become major touchstones in the current landscape of the music industry. During his time working in technology, his lifetime fascination with music and playing guitar had been squarely relegated to the ranks of hobby, a romantic idea dating back to his early teens that the Mississippi native would revisit periodically over the years but never allow himself to embrace fully.
Buoyed by a newfound desire to make his music happen—and encouraged by the support of his family—Story set about putting together a band, a process that involved reaching out to friends and no small amount of trial and error. While putting together the band’s soon-to-be-final lineup, Story focused his energy on writing songs and fleshing out over a dozen song ideas, some of which he’d been carrying around for years. By the spring of 2016, roughly 6 months after deciding to go full-throttle on music, Storytown played their first ever gig. As of this writing, Storytown has released over 50 songs, including 12 from their debut album Welcome to Storytown.
