Review Text
The band's newest CD, released in October 2012, is appropriately titled... Stoney and the House Rockers - 'SHOWTIME!!!' The bottom in any band is what puts the 'dance in your pants' and the'strut in your butt'. Drummer Mike Sinatra DiPaolo and bass player JT Burley are 'The Phat Bottom Boys' for sure. They grind away, steady and full throttled... Up on top, Stoney and the House Rockers features the the gruff and soulful vocals and smokin' harmonica work of Boston native, Richard Stone, also known as Stoney. The powerful gut driven guitar work of The Legendary Rick Fincke, has been acclaimed by many greats, including Jimmy Thackery. 'SHOWTIME!!!' features great new music - SPECIAL GUEST PLAYERS INCLUDE - Multi Award Winning Sax Player - Steve Mazzi and 'The Mighty' Ronnie Wahl on Keyboards. Stoney was nominated for the Brevard Live Florida Music Awards for his Harmonica Playing in 2011... His second CD, STONEY & THE HOUSE ROCKERS - 'CRUISIN' FOR A BLUESIN' ' won the 'CD of The Year Award' in 2009 at the prestigious Brevard Live Florida Music Awards!!! (also available here on CDBaby) Stoney and the House Rockers hope to heading back to Memphis for the third time in 2013 for THE INTERNATIONAL BLUES CHALLENGE IN MEMPHIS. These cats are an authentic, real deal blues band that will put the 'Dance in your Pants!!!' And, as Stoney has said for more than a decade at the gigs, 'It's SHOWTIME, Baby!!!' Great CD, you need to buy this one for your collection...
