Stoney B Blues (Michael Stone) is a true bluesman from Chicago. He is currently based in San Diego and available for touring and festivals. He grew up listening to his father Lil Howling Wolf play the blues and his dad learnt from the great Howling Wolf.

In 2025, with over 50 years of experience, he has become a highly accomplished guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and recording artist of the Blues. Stoney B not only has lots of talent but that wonderful gift of communication which grabs people’s attention as he brings them into a truly enjoyable, masterful and often humorous experience as he entertains them with the Down Home Blues. He feels and shares at a soulful level the essence of the blues with strong influences from Muddy Waters, BB King and Jimmy Reed. He spent 14 years playing in the clubs and on the streets in New Orleans with Elliott Small. Their internationally famed act "Stoney B and Grandpa" was formed when Stoney B started calling Elliott "Grampa"! In recent years Stoney B has lost most of his eyesight so you did not see him much during the pandemic but he is back and has to do what is in his soul to do ... and that is play the Blues for you.

“No one comes closer to the spirit of Joni’s music than Robin Adler.” - Max Bennett, bassist with Joni Mitchell 1973 -76.

Robin is widely known around the world as one of the premier vocalists to perform Joni Mitchell’s work. Joining Robin and Dave will be keyboardist Barnaby Finch and Jim Reeves on bass.

Some words from Peter: “Sunshine of Your Love” — probably the second most iconic rock riff right behind the descending chord movement of “Stairway to Heaven.” I learned to play it when I was young and with a surfboard under the other arm I pretty much owned the world at large. Hah! It’s hard to take over the planet but if you’re fortified with the songs of Cream, world domination by sound is a cinch. Their music is hard hitting, beautiful, and to my ears, just waiting to be reimagined through our jazz and Brazilian influence. Cream was one of my favorite bands when I was growing up. They blasted loud with hard hitting rock sensibilities all the while going cosmic with jazz explorations —extended jams that explored the outer realms of modal harmony. It was the ultimate power trio with Eric Clapton on guitar, Jack Bruce on bass, and Ginger Baker pounding on the drums. We played their songs in our garage band back in the ’70’s and now, some 50 years later, we’re taking them for a new spin. We levitate the classic “Had To Cry Today,” flat tire wobble on “Born Under a Bad Sign,” astral travel on “Badge,” and do some silent moon gazing on “Can’t Find My Way Home.” And of course we fit in a little “Sunshine of Your Love” to fully illuminate the set. The band includes some of the best with Leonard Patton on vocals, Tripp Sprague on sax and flute, Mack Leighton on bass, Justin Grinnell on bass, Danny Green on piano, Duncan Moore on drums, and Peter Sprague on guitar.
