Legendary Phoenix based band The Scones kicked your ass for 14 years as arguably the best goddamn band that never made it to the big time. We did sell a bunch of cds all over the world and play to a lot of people in the US and Europe over the years. We had a great time doing it and hope we left our fans with some really good memories. Thanks to all of you who loved and supported The Scones. The above slideshow is from our "Goodbye For Now" show at Wrigley Mansion July 12, 2008 (Thanks to Shelly Kelly for the pics). But stay tuned. We may be back to play for you again someday. Cheers!

Der in Phoenix, Arizona lebende Londoner, Martin Shears verfuegt ueber ein vielfaeltiges Song-Angebot das geschmeidig Bruecken schlaegt vom straighten Rock bis hin zu klarem Brit Pop. Martin versteht es wunderbar mit der Gitarre umzugehen, begleited sich aber auch selber muehelos am Klavier.
Shears prsentiert restaurierte Songs aus prominentem Vorbesitz: Radiohead; Oasis; Dawid Bowie; The Cure; The Beatles; REM, Coldplay u.v.a.. Eigenkompositionen runden das Programm ab.
Deshalb ist er auf privaten Feiern genau so gerne gesehen und gehoert, wie in Live-Musikclubs, bei Firmenjubilaen und auf Festivals.

Martin Shears kann beeindruckende vielfaeltige musikalische Referenzen vorweisen. geht Es geht ihm vorallen Dingen um gute Musik, deren Darbietung Veranstalter und Gaeste begeistern soll.
Dieser Vollblut Musiker hat einen unaufdringlich, charmant-praesenten Sound.
Ohne grosse Gesten und Schlagzeuggepolter. Aber ideenreich und stilsicher.
Wo er auftrittn, gewinnt er neue Freunde!
Martin Shears laed sie ein zu einer musikalisch-nostalgischen Reise durch die Songs des Pop & Rock der 80er und frhen 90er Jahre.

You guys have always put on such outstanding shows... I'm really going to miss it. I have NO idea WHAT I'm gonna be doing for St. Paddy's Day now! Thanks for such an awesome "last" show guys!!!
Though I was introduced to your music just 2 years ago, and then to you - the band - only 1 year ago...and though I may not have been a fan all 14 years...you will have my heart for the next 14 years (and then some!).
I'm so glad we were able to fly from NJ to AZ to see your final two shows! So much talent...so much fun!
I can't say it any better than Tony did (below)!
May the sun shine on all of you the rest of your lives!
