Melbourne band The Stillsons are making their way up the East Coast for a third time this year, to record their third album in Brisbane. Many in the industry have questioned the band’s decision not to record in their home town, the band’s answer is simple: “No distractions”.
The Stillsons have been touring their special blend of folk, blues and country nationwide for the past eighteen months, winning over new audiences, and picking up many accolades along the way. Their current album Earnest has not only established a solid national reputation, but also a international one, being widely played on BBC Radio 2, BBC Ulster; BBC Scotland, and Radio NZ.
Earnest has been named ‘Album Of The Week’ by six different radio stations — ABC Radio Australia, ABC DIG, ABC Gold Coast; ABC Bendigo, and Radio Adelaide, and has been critically praised in the national press, earning “Best Of The Week” by The Sydney Morning Herald.
The Stillsons comprises of two singers- Justin Bernasconi (Guitarist To Watch – Australian Guitar Mag) and Cat Canteri (drums), pedal steel guitarist Ben Franz; and Edmondo Ammendola (Augie March) on bass.
Earnest was released on the 9th of September 2011 through the bands own label Mountain King Music, and is distributed through FUSE Group.
