The Word Herder
Musically Reclined Sportsman, Raconteur
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 while posting dispatches along the way.
Delving into a genre that he calls "Raucous Yacht Rock," which contains equal parts "Enlightened Americana," "British Blues Rock," "Brodacious Alt-Country," and a bit of "Funk" with some swell beats, plus an added dose of "Shamanistic Magical Realism" to create a mixologist's handcrafted cocktail of unexpected characters, outlandish soundscapes, 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 where destinations don't matter while searching for a truth where nothing is said. |
Having been a multi-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.
Suddenly, an epiphany, why not write songs, and a new quest was borne - telling truths in 4/4. Stoney, in his other life, is a festival-level award-winning composer for film. Stoney is currently working on his first collection of songs for an album to be entitled: "It's Not About the Art, It's About the Frame." |
