STONEHONEY: Stonehoney serves up a home-cooked soul stew of good time, American music with plenty of sweet vocal harmony to spare. What started as a "songwriters in the round" quickly became something bigger and better than the sum of its parts. Veteran musicians Shawn Davis, Phil Hurley, David Phenicie and Nick Randolph create something special together in the blend of their voices and depth of their songs. A new sound has emerged that transcends genres and blends elements of country, folk and rock into a unique new sound that is both fresh and yet somehow achingly familiar.

SUSAN MARSHALL: "Susan Marshall is arguably the contemporary Memphis scene's most powerful and versatile pure singer." Chris Herrington, Memphis Flyer.
Marshall's resume now boasts studio and/or stage time with the likes of Lenny Kravitz, Norah Jones, Keith Richards, Primal Scream, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Mavis Staples, Greg Dulli and the Afghan Whigs, Mya, The Memphis Horns, The Doobie Brothers, Dionne Warwick, Jerry Butler, the North Mississippi Allstars, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Steve Earle, Ann Peebles, Jay Farrar, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Adam Levy, Jim Lauderdale, Todd Snider, John Doe, Emerson Hart of Tonic, and many others. She's also worked with such legendary engineer/producers as Tom Dowd, Chips Moman, Jim Dickinson, John Hampton, Joe Hardy, Dusty Wakeman and Jeff Powell.
Whether it's rock, blues, soul or jazz, Marshall -- who won Best Female Vocalist in 2003 from the Grammy organization's Memphis chapter -- gets the call for a reason.
