The Blood Stones consist of front man and guitar wiz Tommy Blood, whose experiences in New Orleans and New York led him to share the limelight with a variety of other popular Milwaukee artists; keyboard player Brian Huckstep, who pumps soul into the Blood Stones experience with award winning composition skills; bass player and Windy City native Paul Gildersleeve, who inherited a splash of Bootsy Collins crossed with Geddy Lee; and Bob Dolle, who grounds the ensemble with his nuanced tribal beats.
The Blood Stones rocked the Potawatomi Stage at Summerfest 2008, the world's largest music festival. The life-blood of their music flows from a pool of classic influences including Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Phish, Robert Johnson, ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, along with an ever increasing supply of originals. Together they bring the true spirit of rock and roll, leaving their hearts onstage in the process.

Thank you for the message, and for accepting the add. Indeed, all is well on the East Coast. From the sound of your playing I would imagine that all is well in Milwaukee. The playing on the songs is great--amazingly fine guitar and keyboards lift the music right into the zone. Hope I check out the live show someday. Not sure how, but somewhere in The Bloodstones lies the mind of a jazzman, the soul of a bluesman, and the heart of a rock and roller. Keep it up lads. And if you want a good laugh (and some good music as well), your invited to our page--which has links to our (absolutely free) albums on the Creative Commons site Jamendo. When your ready for some Lo Fi Adventures, come on over.
