| The Dropa Stone Biography | |
  
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." THE DROPA STONE is a groove-based rock quartet from Orlando, Florida. Jon Meyers (Vocals/Guitar), Joe Lederman (Drums) and Justin Henry (Guitar) have applied their talents to create an imaginative avant-garde rock sound through a common bound of passion, creativity and inspiration. Mining a wealth of influences from Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd to Soundgarden and Incubus, this band demonstrates ample abilities with a fresh and unique sound, highlighted by melodic-powerful vocals, spacey/textured guitar and an inventive, technically adept rhythm section. THE DROPA STONE brings listeners on a brilliantly diverse musical journey as the band weaves together a comprehensive tapestry of experimental rock, funk, blues, reggae and jazz. With breakthrough singles already burning up FM Radio, and a powerful live show featuring improvisational extended jams and surprise collaborations, this band breaks the conventional rock formula with an “outside the box” debut. Entering the studio with noted producer Justin Thomas, the six song debut was recorded as a trio and released in June 2008. The self titled E.P captures the groups fresh sound with impressive vocals, spacey/textured guitar, catchy hooks, and an inventively technically adept rhythm section. The E.P. has been given significant praise by music critics, including producer Ron St. Germain of Tool and 311. Guitarist Justin Henry joined the band as a permanent member in November 2009 and the new lineup debuted on a tour of the west coast which saw them perform at renowned venues such as The Viper Room in Los Angeles, CA. Just after new years, the band announced they would begin preparations for a new album, with tour dates to be announced shortly after completion. Look for an impressive national showing in 2010 from The Dropa Stone. BOOKING/CONTACT:
