Stonehocker is a writer of individual personal memoirs, crafting songs that explore and express the pain and joys of life.
Known for his emotionally honest lyrics, Stonehocker's sound is an evocative blend of alternative and indie rock. Stonehocker's music continues to inspire listeners to embrace self-discovery and find courage in vulnerability.
His musical journey began in a small northern Alberta town and can be traced through the lyrics of the 2 full-length albums released on streaming platforms. His first recordings came to be in the college studio where he studied music production. Today the music finds life through the sparse home studio that has planted its roots in Calgary.
Stonehocker’s 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 music is the culmination of years of songwriting and many live shows. Throwing caution to the wind he’s poured out his soul and committed everything to the goal of getting his music to those who want to listen.
