The Stone Foxes originated in the sleepy foothills of California’s Central Valley where members Aaron Mort, and brothers Spence Koehler (guitarist) and Shannon Koehler (drummer) grew up. [1] After high school, they went to college at San Francisco State University.
A couple of years later, after living with the three founding members and discovering their similar musical tastes, Avi Vinocur (guitarist and bassist) joins the band. [2]
Formed in late 2005, The Stone Foxes spent their first few years together working on balancing out their musical style. The end product (for now) is a style infused with country, rock, blues, and a touch of San Francisco. [3] The group’s songs are full of classic blues structures and shout-along moments. [4]
On April 14, 2011, they opened for Cage The Elephant and Grammy winners The Black Keys at Mesa Amphitheatre in Phoenix, AZ. [5]. Their cover of Slim Harpo's "I'm A King Bee" was featured in the national ad campaign for Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey. [6]
The band was featured on NPR's "World Cafe: Next" in July 2010. [9] "Mr. Hangman" off Bears & Bulls is in Power Rotation on X103.9 Phoenix [10], and Bears & Bulls peaked at #4 on FMQB's Sub Modern albums chart, with single "Stomp" coming in at #7. [11]
The Stone Foxes' second full-length album, Bears & Bulls, is available on iTunes and stores everywhere. In 2011, the band will participate in several music festivals, including: Wakarusa, [12] Outside Lands, [13] and Joshua Tree Roots Music Fest. [14]
