About Me

Encompassing 70s hard rock, progressive blues, acoustic folk and psychedelia, Stone Sole River have created a sound that is like no other. A band described as having one foot in the past and one foot firmly in the future, their music will take you on a journey through genre and time, constantly evolving and developing with every beat. Since their debut performance SSR have built up a strong reputation playing in venues all across the UK. Their outstanding sets and exceptional stage presence are always well received and as a result they are often asked back time and time again to packed out audiences. The past few years have seen Stone Sole River perform with luminaries of 60s and 70s rock such as The Blue Oyster Cult, Robin Trower, Mountain, Carl Palmer (ELP) and Wishbone Ash. They have toured the UK extensively over the last 2 years opening for American blues virtuoso Joe Bonamassa on his 2006 and 2007 UK tours and more recently supporting Fish (ex Marillion) on his 2007/8 UK tour. This unique three-piece comprises of lead singer and guitarist Michael Parker who recruited the creative talents of drummer Carl Meehan and more recently David Caddick on bass guitar. The diverse range of original songs that give Stone Sole River their unique and sought after sound are formed with contributions from all three members. Each person offers their own style, influence and creativity to produce a mixed bag of musical sounds which appeals to both musos and musical novices alike.Stone Sole River have recently finished recording and producing their debut, full-length album Terra Mama. A piece of work which has taken over a year to complete but was well worth every second. From succinct three minute pieces to impressive ten minute epics this album is fulfilling and satisfying all by itself... yet only a taste of what is to come!
