Finding Stella entered the San Francisco music scene and we can say without exaggeration that the world will never be the same! (too much? sorry... anyway...) Their music integrates the classic rock and pop spirit of the 70s and 80s with a newer, warmer rock quality that has been drawing new audiences from along the West coast and beyond.
The stylings of female vocalist Chris Snyder quickly fill the senses of the discerning music lover. Along with Tim Christmon, Victoria Ovieda, Rich Flynn, Louis Stein and Jessica Fisher, the band draws on many different influences and styles to create their music, smoothly jumping from classic rock to pop to funk, while creating a rich rock sound.
Finding Stella's first album, 'Twitch', sold out quickly in 2004. Twitch represents an expression of the band's musical potency, and serves up a huge plate of passionate rock. With the 2007 release of the band's second album, 'Famous’, audiences find another strong vocal performance, a more mature sound, powerful harmonies, and ultimately the talent and passion that Finding Stella is famous for!
In January 2007, they made their international debut in Australia - a review: "Finding Stella, the rock band from San Francisco, wowed the girls at Girlfest (on the Gold Coast Australia) with one of the most engaging stage performances seen in a long time." Nicesuitonline.com
And they headed back to the Land Down Unda to headline GirlFest again in January of 2008 !!!
Finding Stella routinely draws over 2,000 fans to their summertime repeat performances at Pleasanton's Concert in the Park !
Finding Stella was voted the Best San Francisco Rock Band in the SOBE/Hard Rock Cafe Ultimate Altitude Buzz Battle of the Bands, December 6, 2003.
In September 2003, Finding Stella was chosen to debut four of their original compositions for the new Treo 600 SmartPhone from Handspring. MP3s of Street Fair, The Day & Night, Listen and Would You Know are available for download.
Earlier in 2003, Finding Stella was selected to support Monte Cristo Films in their presentation of Beaver Run Café. This independent feature was produced by Rose Hawayek and features the music of Finding Stella. The band was also featured on The Music Channels Locals Only TV, and filmed live in San Francisco in December 2002.
Thanks a lot for the add! We're glad you like girls with Gibsons, especially when they can play them! This is Jane, Margo's bassist, she's modest. :-) Great sounds and songs...
I LOVE the new release!!! Every song is excellent... With "Superman" you nailed the 80's wave like nothing I have heard in a very long, long time. I'm a fan for life.... blasting your music from my house and car to light of Central New York! ("Stay With Me" makes me cry by the way) Beautiful!
Hey Chris! Hows it going..I just love "Stay with me" added it to my page. Remember Doug Sill? He sent me an email on Linked in and asked about you and Eric. Take care! Genn
