Tuck is a multi-instrumentalist with experience playing from folk to pop, from blues to jazz, from blue grass to reggae (even metal).
Growing up in the rural Vermont, Tuck is a primarily self-taught musician with an amazing dedication for music, a teacher and role model for many for over 15 years. After formalizing his education at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA he has toured nationally for bands like Syd and The Conniption Fits, and has opened for Cake, Hootie and the Blow Fish, Big Head Todd and The Monsters.
His dream was to establish a music school that connects musicians and provide them an outlet to play and perform together.
First step was to co-found the Upper Valley Rock School in 2006, and after 3 years of success open his very own Tuck’s Rock Dojo to train the Upper Valley’s ‘musical ninjas’.
Tuck teaches string instruments (guitar, bass, mandolin, uke, banjo) drums, keys, music theory, recording engeneering and performance classes.
TUCK STOCKING, THE MENTOR

The Iridescent was the first band of the Dojo who started to write their own songs, record, and perform them at venues like Higher Ground in Burlington, VT or Palladium Worcester, MA. 5 driven musicians, great talent, and great enthusiasm.
