Capital Region folk trio The Stone Thoreaus often describe their music as gentle folk. That much can be heard in the musical interplay between guitarist Robert Stern and banjo/mandola player John Eisler along with the soaring harmonies of vocalist Heather Hewitt. Underneath this calm exterior lies a well of intensity from Stern's simmering vocals; to the world music and alt-roots influences that color their sound; to the melodic songs themselves. Both melancholy and sentimental, their music explores a range of human experience in a complex world. The group has spent the last few years growing its musical presence in the area, building a small but loyal following in cafes and smaller venues throughout the Capital District. A six-song studio debut is currently in the works for release this summer.
