ECMA E-News - SpinCount Featured Artist of the week - Carleton Stone Drives the Big Wheel!


SPINCOUNT Featured Artist of the Week
CARLETON STONE
DRIVES THE BIG WHEEL

Dripping with sweat and covered in proverbial stardust, Carleton Stone’s live show will leave you believing this front man was born onstage. Synced like a well-oiled machine, the dynamic hook-rock quintet gains more and more momentum as their electrifying shows take Canada by storm. With a complete, super charged E-Street orchestration, yoked to the lyrical wit and conviction of a Ryan Adams or Elvis Costello, Carleton Stone Drives the Big Wheel has concocted the perfect hit-maker balance of passion, originality and relentless live energy.

Carleton Stone DTBW works hard. Since their naissance in July 2008, the band recorded a full-length record at internationally acclaimed Lakewind Sound Studios that dropped in June 2009, found themselves on stage supporting acts like Hedley, Matt Mays, Hey Rosetta!, and Gordie Sampson, while still pulling off constant, barn-burning, off-with-your-pants rock shows around the Maritimes.

The band's debut album was nominated for an 2010 East Coast Music Award ("Rock Recording of the Year") and two Music Nova Scotia awards ("New Artist/Group Recording" and "Pop/Rock Artist/Group Recording"), in addition to showcasing at both events. The band also won Music Nova Scotia's "Battle to Canadian Music Week", defeating fifteen other Nova Scotia bands, earning the band a headlining spot on the "Music Nova Scotia: Enter the Tiki" stage during Canadian Music Week in Toronto. The band will be touring around Eastern Canada this summer and finishing work on their second LP, due to drop in late 2010.
