Boasting strong original material and an eclectic choice of covers Stonefed's live show is not one to be missed.___________Stonefed brings it big time, bouncy licks and cool lyrics laid down over killer bass lines. Four talented musicians pour out a heavy dose of groovy music. -Boise City Weekly!! No matter how you put it, Stonefed is unique. Comparisons are hard to make, yet Stonefed, Galactic and Maceo all have a common trait -high energy. -Daily Utah Chronicle!! Winning fans over everywhere they play, Stonefed combines exquisite musicianship and boundless energy to create a show that has audiences raving. -Grand Junction Free Press!! If you're looking for instrumental danceable grooves akin to Vinyl or Galactic, Stonefed can do it. If you prefer the freestyle jam rock with incredible changes, swells, and psychedelic sounds found in Phish, Stonefed has it down. At times their genre is indefinable....amazing. -City Search, Best of Utah(((DAVID MEALEY - Bass, Vocals. A born and bred Moabite, began playing the bass at age thirteen. Over the last fourteen years he has been part of numerous projects engaging in genres of Jazz, Funk, Rock, and Heavy Metal. He's currently involved with two other bands: The Moab Jazz Quintet and The Remnants of Rock.
