Get to Know the Band

The Paul Stone Project is all about connection. The kind that happens when a good groove, a familiar melody and a room full of people lock in together.

We play the blues and classic rock because it’s the music that raised us. It shaped who we are, and it still hits us right in the chest every time we plug in.

Our original songs come from that same place. You’ll hear the influence of the Beatles, B.B. King, Eric Clapton and the Grateful Dead. They showed us that music can be simple and deep, joyful and gritty, sometimes all in the same song.

The band officially got its start in 2016, when Paul went looking for a deeper blues sound. Since then, we’ve had the chance to take part in the 2017 Low Country Blues Club Challenge at the Windjammer, record our first EP, Next in Line, at Charleston Sound and play the Teal Diva 5K in 2018.

These days, we’re writing new songs, preparing to head back into the studio and playing shows around South Carolina with whatever lineup fits the night.

More than anything, we’re grateful. Every listen, every message and every person who comes out to a show means more to us than you know.
