Stone Groove Stone Groove has a sound that will leave you "flat against the wall at the back of the room." Their influences range from the mighty Zeppelin to the Fab Four, from Black Sabbath to Bob Dylan, from Robert Johnson to John Prine to Nine Inch Nails...well, you get the idea: they listen to a lot of music. Each member is a valuable piece of the composite machine, and lends his own personal background to the music you can't help but love.

Craig Chapman
has been living the blues (and playing them) for longer than anyone else in the band. Chappy, as he is known by his friends and fans, has seen almost fifteen years in the music business, playing solo or in bands for nearly half of his life. His earthy, rumbling guitar licks and his soaring, passionate voice are the means through which Stone Groove reaches their audience

drums
Christian Gossard played drums for all of a month before he joined the band. In just over four years, he has gone from never hitting a drumhead to creating some of the most inventive, driving, funky beats known to rock n roll. Christian studied such set hitters as John Henry Bonham, Neil Peart, Bill Ward, Danny Carey and Keith Moon, just to name a few influences in his conquest of the drum set.
 
 
harmonica
Rob Shingler is probably the best undiscovered harmonica player in central Ohio, and has brought an element of traditional blues to the band with his Howlin' Wolf/Sonny Boy Williamson (I and II) style playing. He learned to play harp while delivering pizzas, listening to and playing along with the Grateful Dead.
