Black Stone is a 5 member Rock genre group from Ontario Canada. They have that old school sound with a modern twist to the music, some say the sound resembles that of ACDC and some say Bon Jovi and others say Black Sabbath. This is a unique feature when the audience cant place a label on a group. In the spring of 2013 they went into the studio and put together a 10 song album which was released in June of 2013. Some of the tracks on the album were mastered by The legendary George Graves a top engineer who has a history working with bands like U2, Rush, Peter Gabriel and many more. Black Stone then released their first single to radio and quickly developed a following like no other. DJs across North America were taking notice to the single called "Push Me" and were putting it into rotation. Several music gurus were adding it to their top releases such as that of Alan Cross, a Radio broadcaster and writer of music. The single has been added by many main stream radio stations and continues to Rock its listeners. Another to mention is the Galaxie Rock Station which threw Black Stone into rotation and Push Me went #1 on their charts. The Air Canada Center also added Push Me to their list for music played during Toronto Maple Leaf games. There was also many other NHL teams adding it to their platylist as well. Soon there were many requests on getting Black Stone to perform at festivals and venues around Ontario. The first show they were asked to open for was The Sam Roberts Band and they accepted only to have an awesome response from the crowd and other artists on the bill. Not long after they ventured into the Toronto music scene and played many shows like The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern where many artists took the stage in the past such as The Rolling Stones, The Police, The Tragically Hip, Bryan Adams and many more. To play in such a historic place was an honour for the group. Their most recent peformance in Toronto had attracted a good crowd and they were suprised to see none other than Rob Baker the guitarist for The Tragically Hip sitting amongst the listeners, this was also a huge honour for Black Stone seeing that The Tragically Hip was a huge influence for them.
