Stoney Curtis Band
Curtis started the Stoney Curtis Band in 1994 with Charlie Glover on drums and Eric Mitchell. It is a blues-rock sound, big guitar with dazzling solos, ton of drums and driving bass. I have heard people say that Curtis and Charlie sound like they were born playing together. Sometimes their performance is so "on" you can see them smiling at each other on stage – the same smile, same thought – this is great, we are there now. Charlie was born and raised in South Central LA. Bassist, Colby Smith has been with the band for about three years. He rightly brags about the rhythm section of the Stoney Curtis Band being the best in Southern California.
The name Stoney Curtis came from the cartoon character of the same name on the Flintstones. The early version of the band played mostly blues covers in the San Fernando Valley and West LA. For a while they had a singer with a big voice but soon cut it back to a "power trio" with Curtis doing the singing. After a couple of demo tapes, made in the garage sort of thing, the band finished its first studio CD. The CD has – Curtis originals including the pounding Last Train to Chicago and Evil Woman. "Eeevel woman, you’re messing with my head". The CD also has blues covers Straighten It Out by Latimore, Damn Right I’ve Got the Blues and the old blues standby favorite Sweet Home Chicago. It was recorded in part at Doghouse Recording Studios in Burbank owned by Alan Mirikatani aka B.B. Chung King. Check it out. You can see the Stoney Curtis Band all around. They are playing at the Sand Dollar in Las Vegas every month. They recorded their new double live CD "Alive & Unleashed" at the Classroom that is receiving rave reviews world-wide.
