The Stone Chiefs are experts at creating distinctive guitar driven rock-n-roll. Fresh yet familiar, The Stone Chiefs’ music has the timeless feel of a lazy Saturday afternoon flowing into a late night party. A lot of bands out there can Rock but very few can Roll. The Stone Chiefs are one of those bands. This band isn’t about pretentious wanna-be rock star bullshit. They are about soul, power, charisma, blood, sweat, and fists in the air. So, the next time you see their name on the marquee, check them out. You’ll be glad you did. Bands with this much grit, skill, and fortitude don’t come around very often.

The union of these five men that are The Stone Chiefs was purely chance, like the Big Bang. The soul that bleeds from this band, however, is by the grace of Rock and Roll Gods. The infancy of this group began with David Arnn and Aaron Wiig. They became fast friends in college with faster fingers. David and Aaron learned more about slinging guitars in their dorm room than anything they learned in class. Not long after, they met up with Brian “BT” Torrence, who constantly blew them away with his endless supply of catchy riffs. An unholy trinity of Rock and Roll was formed, and these men took the first steps in creating The Stone Chiefs…they began to JAM.
