  • Bio

    Awash in a sea of sonic waves and tight riffs is Tom Stone and his musical adventurers, the Soldiers of Fortune. Beneath this jamtastic amalgam, a voice calls for answers to life's big questions with more than a little retro inspired introspection. Mostly they are a band that talks with their instruments in watertight quips and long lingering anecdotes. Tom Stone and the Soldiers of Fortune walk out onto a stage or into a studio safe in the knowledge they have no set path to where it will lead. There are no safety nets, no second chances. They are in the moment, ready to react, ready to contribute, ready to create for that time and place alone. You, as the audience, are invited to come along with them, to be entertained, to join them any way you choose. You are invited to see these men perform a musically powerful revelation, to lose yourself in what they create for you, and to delight in being ravished by sound and story that is naked but never bare. Front and centre of this exploration is Tom Stone, and the weave of his always searching and seeking vocals and guitar. Answering him is Rich Berndt and his sliding strings of fascination and foreboding, together the two guitarists birthing a consonance of sound. Cascading and nibbling at the edges of the commotion is Tim Byron and his probing percussive keys. Acting as anchor to this guitar infused expression is Chris Duffy and his powerful bass holding court with the rhythm to allow drummer Tim Adderley room to sprinkle in a smattering of beat and remind this quartet of the existence of time. The result is an experiment in group improvisation for a blues rock band and a musical creation to carry away both performer and audience member alike. It is an allegoric tale like no other.
