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 that his dad learned 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.

A Terry Reid concert should be a cherished memory for any self-respecting fan of the greats of British music. Terry turned down the front man’s job with Led Zeppelin, recommending his mate Robert Plant instead, a similar offer and rebuff to Deep Purple. Aretha Franklin’s stated that The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Terry Reid were the best England had to offer in 1968. He underwent two World Tours with The Rolling Stones, US tours with Cream, UK tours with Jethro Tull and Fleetwood Mac, The Isle of White Festival in 1969 and Glastonbury in 1970, played at Mick Jagger’s wedding, before soured record deals resulted in Terry leaving Britain for America nearly 40 years ago.
