The Stone Foxes are a rock and roll band based out of San Francisco, CA.
History
The Stone Foxes originated in the sleepy foothills of California’s Central Valley where members Aaron Mort, and brothers Spence Koehler (guitarist) and Shannon Koehler (drummer) grew up. [1] After high school, they went to college at San Francisco State University.
A couple of years later, after living with the three founding members and discovering their similar musical tastes, Avi Vinocur (guitarist and bassist) joins the band. [2]
Formed in late 2005, The Stone Foxes spent their first few years together working on balancing out their musical style. The end product (for now) is a style infused with country, rock, blues, and a touch of San Francisco. [3] The group’s songs are full of classic blues structures and shout-along moments. [4]
On April 14, 2011, they opened for Cage The Elephant and Grammy winners The Black Keys at Mesa Amphitheatre in Phoenix, AZ. [5]. Their cover of Slim Harpo's "I'm A King Bee" was featured in the national ad campaign for Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey. [6]
TV Placements
- Shameless (U.S. TV series), Episode #107, "Beneath Mt. Sinai" [7]
- Sons of Anarchy, Episode #204, "Beneath Mt. Sinai" [8]
Radio
The band was featured on NPR's "World Cafe: Next" in July 2010. [9] "Mr. Hangman" off Bears & Bulls is in Power Rotation on X103.9 Phoenix [10], and Bears & Bulls peaked at #4 on FMQB's Sub Modern albums chart, with single "Stomp" coming in at #7. [11]

The Stone Foxes' second full-length album, Bears & Bulls, is available on iTunes and stores everywhere. In 2011, the band will participate in several music festivals, including: Wakarusa, [12] Outside Lands, [13] and Joshua Tree Roots Music Fest. [14]
