The 'Stoney Curtis Band are an Acid Blues band whose sounds are growing immediate attention. The Stoney Curtis Band who are on the Shrapnel Records prepare to release the debut album from the veteran blues artist on July 19, 2005. The album title is “Acid Blues Experience” which is a blend of classic blues rock and psychadelic blues rock.
The Stoney Curtis Band have been working the clubs between Los Angeles and Las Vegas for years creating their own brand of psychedelic blues rock, readying their show for the road ahead. Heavily steeped in 60’s/70’s psychedelia, the Stoney Curtis Band have been said to have translated the energy of their phenomenal live show into the grooves of “Acid Blues Experience.”
Stoney Curtis is using the album to tribute to classic rock sounds. Quote: “I was going for the power of Zeppelin, the psycadelia of Cream and the Experience, the flow of Robin Trower Band,” explains Curtis. “We combined it all together with band-mates Charlie (drummer) and Colby (bass) to make it all Stoney Curtis Band.”[1].

[edit] Background
Stoney describes where it all began - “It's totally my roots of Chicago". It's my Chicago sound -Hard Rock and Blues. I grew up on the South Side of Chicago before moving to Los Angeles. My friends & I grew up listening to Hard Rock, like UFO, Scorpions, KISS, Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc. as well as the Blues Rock like Robin Trower, Hendrix, Zeppelin and Clapton. Stoney then says "when I saw BB King at Chicago Fest many moons ago that I totally fell in love with the blues." We became engulfed in it. I listened to "Ole Uncle Bill on some pirate station playing all sorts of deep blues. He always said "Sweet as Sugar, Smooth as Silk" I loved that. Then Stevie Ray became huge and everyone started listening to more blues. "Seeing Son Seals when I was a wee teenager down at Blue Chicago off of Rush Street, showed me the power of a bluesman in a small club."
