Description:
Palisades Restaurant presents Graham Stone Music and Right Hand Son in concert on Saturday, June 9, 2018.

Enjoy an acoustic evening featuring two songwriters passing through from Richmond, VA.

Graham Stone Music is the current solo project of Graham McCune Stoll. Currently based in Richmond, Virginia, Graham recorded and released "Until the Day" an album with ten songs that marked his first solo effort.

The lyrics and demeanor of this music offer an honesty and a sort of welcoming that directly connect the listener with each song as a story. You can tell straight away that his music was influenced by folk music storytellers like Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and John Prine. It's also easy to draw stylistic comparisons to modern Americana singer-songwriters like the Avett Brothers or Jason Isbell. But when you ask Graham himself, he actually cites songwriters like Thrice's Dustin Kensrue and Hot Water Music's Chuck Ragan.

"Growing up, I was raised on bluegrass music and the blues. From Ralph Stanley, The Carter Family, Doc Watson and Ricky Skaggs to guys like BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Lightning Hopkins. That was stuff my dad listened to, so those are my earliest musical memories. But I remember first hearing the Sex Pistols when I was about twelve and all I remember thinking was that I wanted to listen to songs like that! Ones that I could play easy that were exciting and loud and fast. So I listened to everything I could get my hands on that fit that category and my teen days were spent primarily listening to punk and metal bands. A few of the artists that I would still consider some of my biggest influences today are songwriters from bands I was listening to in high school. Thanks to the songwriters from bands like Thrice and Hotwater Music where now Dustin and Chuck also have solo careers with kind of a different sound, but you still get a lot of that same spirit."

Ben Lee is a singer songwriter from Richmond, Virginia. The Right Hand Son moniker comes from the Hebrew meaning of Benjamin - "son of the right hand". He began playing guitar in high school, wrote his first song in college, and hasn't stopped playing and writing since.

He enjoys being satirical, vulnerable, and raw with his songs. The rough guitar playing and vocals put emphasis on the lyrics, as he prefers it.

There are some identifiable influences such as John Prine and Townes Van Zandt. Whether singing about introspective ideas or jabbing at politics, Right Hand Son’s music delivers a message.
