The Blue Stones will head out on the road this summer with little signs of slowing down. On August 17, the duo will perform an intimate set at Theย Sound Lounge in Chicago, IL.ย The following day, they’llย perform on Gallagher Way outside of Wrigley Field before Pearl Jam’s performance there.ย They’ll end the month by appearing before appearing at theย InCuya Festival in Cleveland, OH on August 26.
The Blue Stones will releaseย Black Holesย on October 26, 2018.ย Fans who pre-order the LP on iTunes will get the first three tracks,ย “Be My Fire,”ย “Black Holes (Solid Ground)”ย andย “Rolling With The Punches”ย as iTunes instant grat tracks. All three tracks are also available on all streaming platforms.
Fans may recognize the two instant grat tracks.ย โRolling With The Punchesโย has received several placements in the USA Networkโs hit showย Suits, Showtimeโs comedy seriesย Shamelessย and ESPN’s Monday Night Football.ย โBlack Holes (Solid Ground)โ which is the official lead single has amassed over 8 Million Worldwide Streams, an impressive feat by an unsigned band.
The Blue Stones have been hard at work this year playing live at some of the country’s top concert destinations. The band was front and center at this year’s Carolina Rebellion festival with MUSE and Queens of the Stone Age. The Blue Stones then went onto giving highlighted performances at Northern Invasion, Winnetka Music Festival, and the highly coveted Bonnaroo Festival.
Listening to the larger-than-life, but tight and precise blues-rock of The Blue Stones on their eOne debut,ย Black Holes, it is astonishing to discover all that sound and fury is created by just two people. Guitarist/vocalist/lyricist Tarek Jafar and percussionist/backing vocalist Justin Tessierย have known each other since meeting as kids but it wasnโt until attending university togetherย that they decided to combine their talents into a musical project.
โThe albumโs about being a young adult and entering the real world from a sheltered environment, like college,โย explains Jafar.ย โFeeling torn between taking the secure path or doing something that might be riskier, but youโre passionate aboutโฆ following what you love as opposed to sticking to the straight and narrow.โ
โWe play blues-rock, though itโs not loose and dirty,โย explains Tessier.ย โItโs lean, raw, tight, without a wasted note.โ
With the release ofย Black Holes, The Blue Stones are ready to raise the stakes and turn up the heat.
