The Scones CD Release Concert

Writers, artists, singers, guitar pickers, a claw hammer banjo player, lovers of old school rock & roll, folk, and jazz, The Scones have put together possibly their best effort yet with "Light In The Forest".

This band of well traveled musicians perform what they call "Rockin' Rollin' Americana": a high energy mixing of tasty music that touches on blues, soul, jazz, country, and classic rock and roll. Incendiary acoustic guitar, flashy banjo and 3 part harmony vocals set this group apart. San Antonio (TX) Express News states "The Scones have a top flight songwriter". Vintage Guitar Magazine applauds their past albums as having "first class guitar work and glorious harmonies" and the Woodbridge, New Jersey Patch describes the band at their live show there as "charming and entertaining".

With "Light In The Forest" The Scones present 11 new original tunes all written by the group's guitarist/banjoist Rick Stockton. The rhythm tracks, guitars, and vocals were recorded to a 24 track analog recorder before being transferred into the digital domain for additional recording and mix-down. This accounts for the slightly richer sound you will hear in the mixes.

Light In The Forest is a great album - one which you will listen to over and over again. Besides the outstanding performances of the main band members, a number of other formidable players were added to augment the sound and bring each song into the
realm of the band's artistic vision.

For the concert, The Scones will focus on the songs from the new CD along with a few favorites from previous recordings. They will be joined by several of the musicians who played on "Light In The Forest" throughout the evening. Special guests The 3 Tinkers open the show at 7:30.
