The Alt-rock duo The Blue Stones have announced a heaping dose of tour dates throughout The States surrounding their support tour with Grandson. The band will perform on select radio shows and festivals, most notably Bottle Rock, Shaky Knees, LaureLive, and 98Rock Festivals.
“We’ve been waiting for a coast-to-coast headline tour for a long time”, says the duo’s frontman, Tarek Jafar. “We’ve been waiting for the entirety of our band’s existence. Don’t expect a marathon pace. Come ready for a rock show”.
The Blue Stones recently released three new videos filmed when the band stopped by SiriusXM. In addition to two original songs, the group did a knockout cover of The Rolling Stones classic, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”. Those tracks and more are featured on an all-new EP that came out on January 11th, 2019, titled, “Live In SIRIUSXM Studios”.
Late last year the group debuted a music video for their hit single, “Black Holes (Solid Ground)”, via Billboard Magazine. Directed by Jason Lester and filmed in Los Angeles, CA, this was the first music video the band had released from their new LP. “Black Holes (Solid Ground)” peaked at #31 on the Alternative Chart and #22 on the Mainstream Rock Chart simultaneously, a feat not many artists get to claim and even fewer claim on an independent record label.

The Blue Stones have seen massive success in the new music business’ streaming model. Prestigious Spotify playlists like Rock This, Totally Alt, New Noise, Dirty Rock and more have all featured the band’s hit single, “Black Holes (Solid Ground)”.
Fans may recognize the two instant grat tracks. “Rolling With The Punches” has received several placements in the USA Network’s hit show Suits, Showtime’s comedy series Shameless and ESPN's Monday Night Football. “Black Holes (Solid Ground)” which is the official lead single has amassed over 8 Million Worldwide Streams, an impressive feat by an unsigned band.
The Blue Stones were hard at work this year playing live at some of the country’s top concert destinations. The band was front and center at this year’s Carolina Rebellion festival with Muse and Queens Of The Stone Age. The Blue Stones then went onto giving highlighted performances at Northern Invasion, Winnetka Music Festival, and the highly coveted Bonnaroo Festival.
Listening to the larger-than-life, but tight and precise blues-rock of The Blue Stones on their eOne debut, “Black Holes”, it is astonishing to discover all that sound and fury is created by just two people. Guitarist/vocalist/lyricist Tarek Jafar and percussionist/backing vocalist Justin Tessier have known each other since meeting as kids. But it wasn’t until attending university together that they decided to combine their talents into a musical project.
Order “Black Holes” digitally & physically.
