The
Stoney Curtis Band are an Acid Blues and/or Acid Jazz three-piece band
whom are upcoming artists. The Stoney Curtis Band from Shrapnel Records
prepared to release the debut album from the veteran blues artist on
July 19, 2005. The album title is "Acid Blues Experience", which is a
blend of classic blues rock and psychedelic blues rock.
The Stoney Curtis Band have been working in Los
Angeles and Las Vegas clubs for years making their own brand of
psychedelic blues rock, readying their show for the road ahead. Heavily
driven in 60’s/70’s psychedelic, the Stoney Curtis Band have been said
to have translated the energy of their phenomenal live show into the
grooves of "Acid Blues Experience".
Stoney Curtis uses the album to tribute to classic
rock sounds. Quote: "I was going for the power of Zeppelin, the
psychedelic of Cream and the Experience, the flow of Robin Trower Band,"
explains him. "We combined it all together with band-mates Charlie
(drummer) and Colby (bass) to make it all Stoney Curtis Band".
Background Stoney
describes his start - “It's totally my roots of Chicago". "It's my
Chicago sound -Hard Rock and Blues. I grew up on the South Side of
Chicago before moving to Los Angeles. My friends & I grew up listening
to Hard Rock, like UFO, Scorpions, KISS, Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc. as
well as the Blues Rock like Robin Trower,
Hendrix, Zeppelin and
Clapton. Stoney then says "when I saw BB
King at Chicago Fest many moons ago that I totally fell in love with
the blues." We became engulfed in it. I listened to "Ole Uncle Bill on
some pirate station playing all sorts of deep blues. He always said
"Sweet as Sugar, Smooth as Silk" I loved that. Then
Stevie Ray became huge and everyone
started listening to more blues. "Seeing Son Seals when I was a wee
teenager down at Blue Chicago off of Rush Street, showed me the power of
a bluesman in a small club."
