​Borne to a flea-bit peanut monkey and a honky tonk woman during a crossfire hurricane, Stoney has bounced around at various odds and ends collecting a wide swath of observations and experiences regards the human condition as well as filling his passport with time stamps of his comings and goings extra-dimensionally.

Delving into a genre that he calls "Enlightened Americana" with an added dose of "Magical Realism" to create a mixologist's handcrafted cocktail of unexpected characters, outlandish landscapes, and whimsical situations, Stoney showcases a unique perspective and a distinctive voice with a willingness to implicate himself in his bad and/or good behavior and to describe its costs and rewards to those around him as he chronicles life on the path to awareness and illumination.

Having been an award winning writer through other medium, Stoney decided to turn his talents towards music. Actually, he was becoming increasingly bored with long format fiction and started delving into shorter flash fiction exercises. As the pandemic hit Stoney reached for the ever present guitar -  a prop used mostly for getting laid - and began playing in earnest.  Suddenly an epiphany, why not write songs, and a new quest was born.

​Stoney is currently working at putting together his first collection of songs into an album to be entitled "Longtime Listener".
