Stone Age Man songwriter Greg Paul Stone to do solo tour of Australia's East coast in late 2017 For Immediate Release October 11, 2017, Wakefield, QC – Greg Paul Stone, Australian songwriter and leader of maverick genre-bending Canadian band Stone Age Man, will do a string of intimate solo dates in select Australian cities in late 2017 that will feature his highly original songwriting and prodigious guitar skills. Hot off recording sessions with legendary producer Rob Fraboni (Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Joe Cocker), Greg Paul Stone will play a selection of songs from the first two Stone Age Man releases Touch The Sun & Throw Your TV In The Pool as well as new material from the Fraboni sessions and select covers. With a writing style that encompasses folk, jazz, blues, rock and cabaret influences, Stone is an act that defies easy description. Compared at times to Frank Zappa, Tom Waits and Gogol Bordello, audiences are left spellbound by the wicked humour and dark groove of a Stone Age Man show. “...as deep as a Tom Waits concert and as energetic as a Gogol Bordello show.” —Trevor Greenway, Ottawa Metro, July 28, 2016 Greg Paul Stone is an in-demand Australian musician based in Ottawa, Canada who performs over 150 shows a year with various bands, including Stone Age Man.
