***My influences have changed a little - Life, love, loss, experience, observation, pain, joy, life... And now health??? Challenging, to say the least. Lots of music, good music, music that get's me up, and my new band -does it for me! They are truly incredible and I can't wait to create with them each and every time.
It makes me wish I had more time to gobble up new music... So that is what I am doing. Taking time off to get treated and to get well (I know it doesn't look like it, I am very busy, but I am busy doing the things that make me shine)
I also want to take some more lessons, learn jazz standards, broaden my scope, keep learning instruments. Learning is influence, I have been practicing yoga for two years now and I am doing my teacher training. Staying balanced while I expand so I can give more to other people and to myself, giving is hard if it leaves you empty, it needs to leave you filled. ***BUT love lately is STILL on the table, in a new form... it has come back to me and it has also been lost, but my future is wide open. It's really hard to be vulnerable, but it's harder to be vulnerable a little too late, and boy am I glad I am learning that lesson. It is so worth being me, the one who leaves nothing left unsaid, the one who talks love into being, the one who makes people believe. So I am in operation "rebuild", with eyes wide open at life, and this is going to blow the doors off of the world. This will come in the form of my new album "Bad Girl" as well...
READ MY BLOGS, THEY REALLY DO HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. You just might learn more about the kind of person I really am... Oh yah, I am getting back into my art as well... Design is cool, but I miss using my hands... So I am going to make some cool stuff, and print some photography... Maybe you'll like it.

Sounds Like
It’s the energy of Dave Matthews delivered with the elegance of Natalie Cole. The pulse of Erikah Badu with the eloquence of Joni Mitchell with kick in the ass Jill Scott style. Throw in some Earth Wind and Fire, a pinch of Marvin Gaye and a dash of salt & pepper... You might have something there... Artists she loves includes Ani DiFranco, Jonatha Brooke, Annie Lennox, Shelby Lynn, Aimie Mann, John Mayer, Prince, Judy Bats, Esthero, and more.

THE GUY WHO MAKES THE GRAMMYS SAID:
"I have listened to your cd's several times (you're on our 'play list' here in the shop). I must say I am more than impressed. I am not a fan of "funk" but the way you have infused it with jazz and your incredible voice and delivery I find your music very inspiring. I am always blown away how after all that has been done through years an artist can come up with something so unique and create a 'style' all their own." ~John Billings
************************************
WHO IS SHE? Why She's skinny, funky, white chocolate! As a native Clevelander, Stone has grown in her grassroots following from grabbing singer/songwriter, to an explosive full band, to record label owner, to producer. She tours the country non-stop. With her first release, "My Heart" (2001), she made her mark, her sophomore release, "RushMore" (2003), has been catching the media and her third album "Bad Girl" (which is a high energy R&B, Neo-Soul, all Groove record) is underway and will be released on JUNE 21st, Sunday at Brother's Lounge in Lakewood, 2009!!!, but don't forget about "Live at the Oakland", her newer live solo bootleg, good luck getting it. She is also working on a DVD of the Cain Park performance, a solo CD, a LIVE full band CD and perhaps another project towards the end of the year... Busy, busy, busy... Stone’s campaign has made waves across over 1,000 national and international radio stations, charting along the way. CD's are available in stores and on-line now at www.SheLovesYouRecords.com!
************************************
WHAT DOES SHE SOUND LIKE? It’s the energy of Dave Matthews delivered with the elegance of Natalie Cole. The pulse of Erikah Badu with the eloquence of Joni Mitchell with kick in the ass Jill Scott style.
************************************
WHY DOES SHE MATTER? Because she is putting on a show you'll remember and making records that stand out from the crowd.
************************************
WHERE DOES SHE FIT IN? This award winning multi-intrumentalist/ producer/songwriter can jam out an entire 4 hour set, sooth you in an intimate theater, rock a power set at a major club, festival, private party your country club a fresh step. She has also warmed thousands for names like Jewel and Bonnie Raitt and performs the college and solo circuit. She'll even throw in dessert. Try her on your radio station!
************************************
WHAT IS SHE DOING? The big news is that in the last year, she just put her new band together of world class players and is stepping up the level of intensity yet again. Currently she is recording material for the third album "Bad Girl" and will release it in JUNE of 2009. The She Loves You Records staff is working on broadening the touring market and keeping the calendar full for 2009. We held new radio campaign for the title track from RushMore entitled “No Fool” back in 2004. It spun well over 1,300 national and international radio stations. Her Publicist launched a media blitz that has been very successful in getting the new record covered as well as full coverage in each tour stop and that will continue for the new album. Stone’s Distributor Little Fish Records, (www.littlefish.com) is handling the international promotion of the new record, expanding the stores that carry Stone’s records and heading up a new program to solicit the licensing of Stone’s music for Recording, Film and Television. Robin Stone herself has added two artists to her record label, Alexis Antes and also produced her new album, "All Come Down" and is working with a comedian, to be announced later. Stone is also working with her Web Master to keep the site fresh, interesting and interactive, in fact a new site wmay be posted soon. Everyone is busy in SLY town.
