Soul Stone Overdrive

Soul Stone Overdrive formed when three musical forces converged from distant points on the map to the town of Lewisburg, WV. Guitarist Shane Allen had moved back to his hometown after being in Phoenix, AZ. Bassist Chris Clemons and Shane were friends and when Chris came to the area from Burlington, NC they immediately got in touch and began jamming. It wasn't long before they realized that with the right drummer they could create something powerful. They started placing want ads and soon met Stanley Hardjadinata, whose journey was the longest of them all. He had recently moved to Lewisburg from Honolulu, HI. It was definitely a case of right place, right time as it was apparent from their very first jam session that these three musicians were meant to play together.

They all bring their own experiences to the table. Shane and Chris have both played in various bands and projects, honing their skills along the way. While in Hawaii, Stanley worked as a session musician and gigging drummer.They have merged all of their various influences and experiences, combined it with their shared love of improvisation, strong riffs, and great songwriting, and produced a unique sound that hearkens back to the glory days of Hendrix and Cream, but with their own twist that breaks down barriers and defines the modern power trio.
