3/23/05 - Stone Poetry at Leaf & Bean April 9, 2005
Bozeman-based original folk-rock band, Stone Poetry, will perform their enticing brand of “history rock” at the Leaf and Bean Saturday night, April 9th, from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m.  The show includes vivid imagery to enhance several of the songs.  The band recently released their new CD, Into the Great Unknown, with a well-received concert and multimedia show at the Museum of the Rockies.  Scott Prinzig says, in his review of the CD in the January 2005 Lively Times Montana Arts and Entertainment Monthly section, “the years of experience shows in the musicianship on this album and is highlighted by the crisp and clean engineering of Gil Stober of Bozeman's Peak Recording and Sound.”

The liner notes for Stone Poetry include several paragraphs of praise and prose by Bozeman journalist Todd Wilkinson, who describes the band's music as a mix of “dynamic and progressive rock 'n roll with influences of classical, bluegrass and Latin rhythms.”

Whether or not you agree with Wilkinson's claim that Stone Poetry “delivers far greater listening pleasure on cross-country road trips than any book on tape written by a Pulitzer-prize author,” it is worth trying the comparison on your next drive across the Treasure State.

The band consists of singer/songwriter/guitarist Daniel Smith, singer/percussionist Kate Regan Ciari, guitarist Dan Krza, bassist Kevin Loustanau, and percussionist Mark Sullivan.  Kevin Loustanau plugged in and started pickin' bass lines for Stone Poetry fulltime in February of 2005.  Bringing a nice tone and a tight sound, Kevin is a welcome addition to the band.  For more information on Stone Poetry, visit their website at www.stonepoetry.com, or call Susan at 556-1284.
