Old Stone Revue was formed by Brandon Knox (vocals, harmonica), Joe Blevins (vocals, guitar) and Chris Lord (guitar,vocals) as a band centered on songwriting, with a live show that joins raw intensity, grit and heart, along with poignant lyricism and musicianship.
Shortly after establishing John Holder (bass) in the band, Old Stone Revue headed in to Ovation Sound Studios (Winston Salem, NC) to record their debut LP "Heirloom". The 10 song album was released in May 2008.
Old Stone Revue was named 2008 Band of the Year by the Winston-Salem Journal and "Heirloom" was named to the Top 10 Albums of 2008 by Yes! Weekly (Greensboro).
At times emotive, and at others jubilant; this North Carolina band delivers real American music .
“Lyrics bear a storyteller's ear for detail. And the songs are sharp, filled with interesting chord changes that take otherwise familiar songs to wonderful new places. People searching for influences will have a hard time — the music borrows stylistic ideas from many, but ultimately sounds original”
Ed Bumgardner - Relish
"The unassuming Old Stone Revue, which boasts members from all over the Triad, has been quietly amassing a growing fan base for its equally unassuming and affable take on Americana music, ably captured on Heirloom, its debut CD.
Ed Bumgardner - Relish
“The band is unsigned, but you can tell that they really have the talent for a label. Combining the music, lyrics, and vocals, I get a soft homespun Southern hospitality about growing up and growing old. Light classic rock feel with a hint of country. 3 of 5 stars”
Heather MacIntyre - Yes! Weekly
"If only you guys could play for the world,
I'm sure you'd take it by storm. Awesome sound!
You're welcome around these hills any day!"
90.3FM Morehead Kentucky - Americana Crossroads
"I'm happy to report that Old Stone Revue is nothing short of brilliant and amazing. You can't beat a band that has an innate sense of musicality. The caliber of songwriting is completely capitvating."
Kathy Clark - Go Triad
