Big Stone IV Official

The band formed as the result of a project to play a set of covers at a company office party. The members clicked well and they decided to cary on and work on some originals. Creative differences left the core members seeking a new front man when the drummer had his close friend and long time collaborator check it out. With a new front man the band clicked well, wrote many originals together and played several shows in NYC rock clubs. The biggest challenge as with many groups was to find a band name. Knowing the band had serious overtones of classic and hard rock, an eclectic artsy fartsy name just wouldn't do. So one night at the watering hole after a night's rehearsal, guitarist Matt Salisbury proclaimed, "What about Big Stone IV?" And the band loved it! They went on to record a full length album and were together for close to 3 years when they disbanded in 2003.
