Frank M. on Rhythm and Lead Guitar as well as vocals
And myself on Rhythm and Lead guitar as well as vocals
I've also got to mention our awesome sound guy, Mix Master Steve B.
Influences
My musical influences all come from mainstream artists. I'm a big fan of the blues as you can see. Stevie Ray Vaughn, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, BB King, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhodes, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and some of my friends whom I've learned so much from and.
As far as Christian music goes I'll be honest.... I don't listen to it much being that our local Christian radio stations play stuff that is a little soft for my liking but I do like Todd Agnew, Big Daddy Weave, Third Day and a few local bands that I've heard.
Sounds Like
I’m still trying to figure out who I sound similar to.... I’ve had a few people tell me that I sound like Jim Morrison but I personally don’t hear it. So you can do me a favor by taking a listen to my music as I get it posted up here and then letting me know who you think it sounds similar to.

With that said, Hi and thanks for checking out my site.
Times may be rough but Life is good! I'm excited about what the new year may bring. This past year I released my first CD "Sins In Red" and as of this past October we've established a band and have been working through the winter months to prepare for a local tour come spring. I've also just completed my website with the latest news, pics, videos, links etc along with audio files and links to purchase the music either by CD or MP3 Download. Over the next few weeks I hope to add blogs, guestbook and more. So if you get a chance swing by and take a look. www.toddstone.us
Hey TS! I trust that all is well with you my friend. Still rockin' for Jesus I'm sure! Hey, I would like to ask you some questions about your experience with CDBaby some time. I'm considering using them as well. Take care and God bless!
You're welcome. Welcome to my network. Thank you very much for the compliment. I also hope that you continue to be blessed in whatever work that God motivates you to do and that you go for it in a successful manner.
Thanks Todd! Christmas was really nice, and the New Year is off to a good start. I hope that 2009 is a year of much success, health, and prosperity for you my Brother!
