Stonehocker

Alternative music through individual personal memoirs.

I’m Stonehocker and music heals me. Through honest writing of individual personal memoirs, I craft songs that explore and express the pain and joys of life.

In this post-pandemic society where mental health issues have become even more prevalent; my goal is to be open, honest and inspire people to have the courage for self-discovery.

My musical journey began in a small northern Alberta town and can be traced through the lyrics of the 4 full-length albums I’ve released. The early projects were recorded in the college studio where I also studied music production. Today the music finds life through the sparse home studio that has slowly come to be.

My vocals are the focal point of the show; complemented by acoustic guitar, underlined by minimalistic beats, and finally samples placed lightly throughout to highlight the alternative edge. All the samples come straight from the recorded music, making the shows custom and unique.

This latest production is the culmination of years of songwriting and many live shows. Throwing caution to the wind I’ve poured out my soul and committed everything to the goal of getting my music to those who want to listen.
