Redstone
RedStone is the marriage of the musicalities of singer/guitarist Kent Clayton and piano player/singer Tommy Carmine along with those of bassist/vocalist Matt Lowe and drummer Brian McShane. The RedStone sound is full and dynamic, marked by intuitive composition and impassioned vocals. They are a band that emphasizes the importance of tradition, but are certainly willing to break the mold when the opportunity arises. Their songs are reminiscent of an era of rock and roll when musical proficiency was honored, and they evoke an emotional response that is hard to ignore. RedStone formed in Oakland in 2017 and is poised to make its mark in the Bay area music scene and beyond.
Laura Benitez and the Heartache
Laura Benitez and the Heartache use the three chord tools of country music to tell the simple, unvarnished truth about love, too much whiskey, and the call of the road. Their songs range from honky-tonk shuffles to rock 'n' roll numbers to sweet old time waltzes, and cover everything from unwed motherhood ("Me or the Baby") to mean drunks ("Don't Wake the Devil"), with a whole lot of heartbreak in between. Their twangy honesty shines through in straightforward arrangements, crystalline harmonies, and spare instrumentation. Beware their catchy hooks and sweet melodies - these stray puppy tunes will follow you home and become your most steadfast companions.
