Stray Deuce), musician/singer/songwriter. “I really enjoy finding artists whose names you might not know, but who have made important contributions to popular music. Chuck Smith, who goes by the stage name Stray Deuce, is one of those artists. He’s been in the music industry for decades and has played with some of the best musicians in the business.
