Bio
Vocalist/songwriter Dee Stone's musical journey began in York, Pennsylvania. She briefly studied guitar before finding her true voice, and began singing professionally at the age of 16. She has lived and performed on the west coast (mainly Los Angeles), in Japan, and the mid-Atlantic region. Dee is currently based in northern Virginia and has performed in the Washington, DC metropolitan area at such well-known venues as Blues Alley, the Bayou, and Madam's Organ.
Dee performs either with her band, the Dee Stone Band, or with her husband, guitarist Charles Wright, as the acoustic duo Stone/Wright. The duo was recently nominated for two WAMMIE awards from the Washington Area Music Association. Watch the Stone/Wright video for "Right There" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkWag1AVVno
A gifted vocalist and prolific lyricist, Dee sings about love, liberation, spirituality, and the human condition. Sometimes controversial -- always honest -- she performs an interesting mix of edgy r&b, jazz, funk, rock, and spoken word with a kick-ass trio of accomplished musicians who are equally comfortable melding genres.
