Stubbs is best known for his work and promotion of country music on WSM, a radio station with a nighttime clear channel signal broadcast from Nashville, Tennessee, United States.

He was also one of two regular announcers for the long-running Grand Ole Opry carried on WSM on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights.

A fifth-generation resident of Montgomery County, Maryland, he graduated from Gaithersburg High School and became a fiddle player with a traditional bluegrass band, The Johnson Mountain Boys.

But within seventeen days of arriving in the country music capital, he was hired by The Grand Ole Opry as a regular announcer.

[citation needed] In 2002, Stubbs was named the Country Music Association's Large Market Air Personality of the Year.
