Bio: Once in a great rock n roll moon a band comes along that defies the law of modern type cast musical endeavors. Brotherhood, upbringing, common goals, style, and perseverance, coupled with the love and respect of each members personal and public life, and just being a collective bunch of bad asses, creates an art form that sinks into every soul it touches, and paints a picture of thumb print originality to last forever.

From it's inception Black Stone Cherry chose to write its own musical direction. By using a melting pot of early English rock, Southern rock and Blues, American Hard rock, motown, and Heavy Metal, Black Stone Cherry came out of the shoot glued together by skull crushing, heart stopping, run for your life riff rock, with lyrics that tell the truth, and sometimes stretch it beyond the imagination.

School mates and life long friends, Chris Robertson (guitar and vocals), Ben Wells (guitar and vocals), Jon Lawhon (bass and vocals), and John Fred Young (drums and vocals), have created a sound and a vibe that is contagious to the modern rocker and rootsy enough for the Fillmore East and West die hards of yester year, where hard rock music was born.
