Hailing from Kent, Washington, a suburban city set in the outskirts of Seattle, Black Stone blends a classic, older sound with a heavy, blues influence; creating their signature, Southern Rock sound. Comprised of Matt Flynn (Drums), Dennis Flynn (Guitar), and Alex Lathum (Bass). Black Stone has framed the foundation by creating material that is lyrically and rhythmically strong. As their music paints the spectrum of cross-cultural and cross-genre appeal, their fan base fills the generational gap. Black Stone uses every song as a soundtrack of reflection and life's eternal.

Through trial, tribulation and triumph, each band member has been able to use Black Stone as a platform to deliver their frustrations and fantasies to the world. Influenced by such industry artists who include Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Beatles, Sam Cooke and The Allman Brothers Band, Black Stone released their self-titled, debut LP in September of 2008. The album is comprised of an array of tracks that were recorded in the confines of a studio setting, as well as tracks that were recorded before the presense of a live audience. The entire album was produced, collectively, by Black Stone; alongside the engineering talents of Dan Slinger. Definitive tracks, She Left Texas, as well as Death Has A Scent, are songs that illustrate the unity of the group, as well as their artistic interpretations of Life and Death.
