Phoenix Stone

After being signed to Warner/Chappell Nashville as a teen, industry vet Phoenix Stone has gone on to produce and work with critically acclaimed acts, including legend Art Garfunkel, newcomer Liana Conway, and the multiple platinum selling band, The Backstreet Boys. Stone is returning to his Southern roots with his debut country single “100 Proof Moonshine,” (Stonehall Entertainment/Nine North Records). Written and produced by Stone, this good-time anthem has already hit #1 on the New & Active Charts and is rapidly climbing the Billboard charts and just hit top 50 this week. His unique sound blends the soulful grooves of the Allman Brothers and traditional values of Hank with the rockin’ contemporary production of Jason Aldean. His debut country EP Honky Tonk Superstar, featuring 4 original tracks written and produced by Stone, was released digitally this year.
-Phoenix Stone’s country debut has caught the attention of Billboard magazine which featured Phoenix in the 615 Spotlight, the nationally syndicated entertainment show Better TV (airing in over 180 markets including CBS Los Angeles, CBS New York & NBC Nashville, reaching millions of viewers), the nationally syndicated lifestyle and Dish network show Daytime (airing across the country, reaching millions of viewers).
