Stonehoney
Encyclopedia
Stonehoney is a country/southern rock band from Austin, Texas that consists of Shawn Davis on vocals and electric guitar, Phil Hurley
on vocals and lead electric guitar, Dave Phenicie on vocals and bass guitar, and Nick Randolph on vocals and acoustic guitar. The quartet originally met and began playing together in Los Angeles under the name “Songs from the Hillside Living Room”. The band changed their name to Stonehoney and eventually decided to move to Austin, Texas in search of expanded performing opportunities. Stonehoney has been touring extensively since 2007 and has released one album, The Cedar Creek Sessions.
The band began playing together informally, getting together and jamming in Randolph’s living room in Los Angeles. The band eventually began to perform in a variety of settings around Los Angeles. As the four members began to grow together both personally and musically, they committed to Stonehoney full time and eventually moved to Austin, TX. The band thrived in Austin, where audiences cared more about the actual music than the glamorous presentation of the musicians. As Hurley put it, “People weren’t interested in whether we were hunky; they just wanted to know if we could play and if our songs were any good. It felt like we’d come home.”
Stonehoney released their first album entitled “The Cedar Creek sessions” with Music Road Records in 2010. The band spent four days recording forty compositions all in live takes. Fourteen of those forty songs made the final cut for the album. Some of singles from the album include “Two Years Down”, “I Don't Want to Go Home”, and “Good as Gone”.
