As the week comes to a close, we reflect back on a week that began with a blistering set on the PlayLive stage by Bay Area rockers, The Stone Foxes…
Somewhere between blues, rock and country you’ll find The Stone Foxes. This was the first I’d heard of this band and their set was the perfect pick me up for a Monday. The band’s four members (Shannon Koehler, Spence Koehler, Aaron Mort, Avi Vinocur) are long time friends and roommates, and the brotherhood (both literally and figuratively) and ‘knowing’ showed in their performance that was alternately taut and loose with each other.
It’s a bit unorthodox to see the drummer as lead singer, but it perfectly matched the intensity these guys brought to the stage, and when Shannon hopped out from behind the traps and belted out some worthy Chicago blues harp sounds, we knew we were in for a treat. The Stone Foxes are a sure fit for gritty rock and roll (listen to their song “King Bee” used in the Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey commercial) and I recommend checking out their highly energetic live show…they had us all out of our seats and clapping wildly on a Monday morning… that’s no easy feat around here!

This is an excellent video of an excellent track from an excellent band. 🙂 And I did not know that they are from Bay Area. I have thought that they play only heavy metal there! ;P
