Stone Free

About Me


The band thanks everyone who made it out to the South Padre Island Bike Fest this past October. We had a great time perfoming, seeing old friends and making new ones. At this year's event, Stone Free had the pleasure of opening up for the great Robert Cray Band. As always, Keep on Rockin'; Dream Big and Live Big.
Stone Free is back in the studio recording its fourth CD. The project will offer eight original songs and is expected to be complete this January. We hope to see all our friends at the CD release PARTY!!!!
For the past thirteen years, Stone Free has been among the most innovative, creative and original bands playing in South Texas . Formed in 1994, the band began cutting its teeth in the Rio Grande Valley nightclub circuit. Refusing to be pigeon-holed as a jukebox band, Stone Free focuses its passion and energy in developing a style that can truly be defined as their own. The music of Stone Free finds itself influenced by the many great bands and countless legends of rock, reggae, and rhythm and blues. Each member of the band brings their own unique strengths, imagination and taste to the music.
The love for music led the band into the recording studio in 1995, resulting in a ten song release entitled “No Rehearsal Required”. Two years later, in 1997, Stone Free released their second piece “Stand Tall” and in 2001 recorded their third work “Nothing Personal”. The reaction from fans to both works has encouraged the band to continue its course. Lead guitarist and vocalist, Al Phipps released additional solo works in 2002 and 2006.
Over the years Stone Free has played countless memorable gigs. From 1999 to 2006 Stone Free has opened for acts such as Joan Jett, Three Dog Night, CCR Revisited, Blue Oyster Cult and REO Speedwagon at the Roar By the Shore South Padre Island Bike Fest. In 2000, the band opened-up for the legendary conquero and Grammy Award winner Poncho Sanchez. In 2000, Stone Free was the opening act at the “15th Annual Imagen Awards” in Beverly Hills, California.
