"Stone is a natural, a soul singer with a live wire voice radiating waves of passion and compassion." - Mike Joyce, Washington Post
"Her talent blazes." - Greg Allen, Chesapeake Entertainment
"Wright’s chordal phrasing and voicing, the rhythm drive/ chord pluckings have that definite Holdsworthian touch...echoes of the Elliot Freedman Group, but then Wright goes riffing off into another unique voicing and phrasing with the grace of a Gambalesque moment. Wright has a great deal of tricks up his sleeve that serve to satisfy." - John W. Patterson, All About Jazz
"This is Dee Stone and Charles Wright, known collectively as Stone/Wright. They are newly married after having worked together up and down the mid-Atlantic coast in the funk/rock group the Dee Stone Band. The cornerstone of the musical entity was always Dee’s powerful voice. Now coupled with Charles' intricate fingerwork on both acoustic and electric guitars, they have found the perfect combination of their incredible talents as a jazz/soul duo. But if you listen very carefully, you’ll still hear some rock bouncing around those gorgeous vocal chords and vibrant strings." - Skope Magazine
