Silent Stone

Founded in late 2006 in the misty shadows cast by the Tennessee Appalachian Mountains, Silent Stone began as a collaboration between long time friends, Matt Campbell and Brian Byrd. The pair composed several acoustic melodies before expanding to full band status with the addition of "Big Al" Drinnon, Josh Stines, and later Mat Stines. Developing a sound which blends the eclectic tastes and talents of the group as well as elements of the original acoustic sound of the founding duet, Silent Stone produces a powerful mix of blues, rock and ballads. Decidedly and unabashedly southern at its core, the music of Silent Stone transitions seamlessly through many styles and genres. At times raw and aggressive at other times heartfelt and ethereal, but always honest and relative, the songs on their debut album "From the Ashes" reflect the group’s commitment to writing and performing songs which mirror their views about "love, life, happiness and loss." Silent Stone began performing live in mid 2007 in and around East Tennessee. Performing mostly original material with an occasional "tribute" to a favorite song or artist sprinkled in, Silent Stone is always a crowd pleasing act. Read more on Last.fm.
