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.  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.  Over the past eight years, Stone Groove has gained a dedicated following and cemented their place as one of central Ohio’s premier rock bands.

Craig Chapman Guitar & Vocals
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
 


















 

CRAIG POWERS

Craig Powers
 		Bass Guitar
Craig Powers has been playing the bass for the past fourteen years. He takes his influences from many different styles of music, from John Paul Jones and John Entwistle to Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood. Craig played with London-based band SD in the 1990’s before becoming Stone Groove’s original bassist. He took a four-year hiatus before returning to the group in 2007, and is thrilled to be back with the band. He brings a high energy level to the stage and loves energizing the crowd.
 
 
Christian Gossard
 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.
 
 
Rob Shingler
 Harmonica
Rob Shingler is arguably the best undiscovered harmonica player in central Ohio. He has brought an element of traditional blues to the band with his Howlin' Wolf / Sonny Boy Williamson-style playing. Rob learned to play harp while delivering pizzas, and playing along with the Grateful Dead’s music.
