List of Recorded Releases

Three song demo is available. We are currently in production for our first full-length CD.

Upcoming events:

Many pub and festival shows including the Syracuse Irish Festival, the Albany Tulip Festival, the Amherst Scottish Festival and America’s Fair.

Worst show the band ever played:

At a yacht club. Not so much a bad gig but Mr. Howell’s monacle dropped into his Manhattan several times. Every gig teaches you something of value.

Best show the band ever played:

Many. Just this past weekend at the German House Concert Hall in Rochester we had an appreciative crowd, great sound and lights and a gorgeous old concert hall. The communication between the band and the audience was nothing short of stellar.

Anything else you would like our readers to know about the band?

Stone Row creates a new and unique niche in the Celtic/World music genre and appeals to a wide variety of ages and musical tastes. There is truly something for everyone at our shows and the band has fun no matter what.
