Possessing a unique style of music that combines a creative blend of upbeat roots reggae with the reverberating echoes of dub, comes a man with no limit for his musical abilities. Stick Figure's music is written, recorded, and produced by Scott Woodruff, a young man from Duxbury, MA.
All of Stick Figure's songs are made by recording each instrument separately, layering several tracks on top of one another in unison.
Stick Figure recently relocated to Southern California and has picked up three new members for the live band, Brendan Dane (San Diego) on bass, Todd Smith (San Clemente) on drums and Kevin Bong (San Diego) on keys. All are incredible musicians and are surely a great addition to the Stick Figure sound. The band is currently in the process of recording their first debut album together, expecting to drop this Winter.

Stick Figure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on down, please gather around, it's time to let the spirits awake
I know, it's been told, lies compromise but the truth gets old
It don't matter, just leave it alone, the sprits got something to say
Hold up, it's happening, times are getting tough lord whee you been
Keep it up boy, now leave it alone, I know you got no place to go
You got big dreams, they are not what they seem in many old kind of ways
I know, it's easy to say when you look back at what took place
You got your reasons for these feelings today, stop don't push em' away
I went down to the burial ground, it's the place to give your thanks and
Praise
Your not bound to this merry go round, take a break and let your mind
Escape
I know, well it's been said, when you stop dreaming yes your already dead
The truth be hold, it's a lonely road, relax and let your mind explode
The lyrics of Stick Figure's song "Burial Ground" convey a message of reflection, gratitude, and escape.

The verses advise to step back into reality, let the smoke clear, and relax one's mind to let it explode with thoughts and ideas.
