Hey ya’ll,
We’ve got some great things coming. It has been an incredible week! Tuesday night, we had a packed show at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta, GA and cut a live album that will be available VERY soon. Then, Wednesday night, we played at The Five Spot and it was broadcast streaming on the web through DirtySouthTV.tv. The interview has been posted on the home page for you to watch and listen.
This weekend (tonight), we’re back at the famous Southern Tracks Studio in Atlanta, GA recording some new tracks for our new album. For those of you who were at our Smith’s Olde bar show on Tuesday, you were able to hear some of the new tracks. We’re glad they were well received. As a treat, we’ll be broadcasting the process live tonight through http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-first-stone, or you can view the live stream below.
Until then, cheers!

The First Stone is an eclectic culmination of working-class musicians based out of Atlanta, Georgia. Their sound is best described indie-folk-rock infused with funk. TFS is led by front man Brian Kelly on guitar and vocals. Brian has spent time in Chattanooga, TN., Athens, and Augusta, GA as a solo artist and with other full band projects (Drive South, Tony Kick). Dave Baranik keeps the groove alive on bass while Aubrey Bailey balances it all out on percussion and drums. Dave has played with bands such as Swoon 19 and The Funktron Bomb. Aubrey has been in previous bands such as Bound and Great White Dolemite. Guitar player Nate Kieser hails from Peoria, IL and has performed all across the country. He brings unique guitar riffs and a killer sound to the band.
