Not to be confused with the 1980s New York band Stone or the 1990s hip-hop producer Stone, this Stone is an earthy trio specializing in roots rock, blues-rock and pop-rock. The trio was formed in 1996, when singer/guitarist
Brad Wilson got together with electric bassist
Brian James and drummer
J.J. Garcia. Stone's debut album, Somewhere in L.A., came out on Cherokee in 1998, and the CD's first single, "Teaser," was heard in director
John Carpenter's horror film Vampires. Stone's second album, Here Before, was released on SX3 Music in 1999. ~ Alex Henderson
