"Stones Throw" by Marc Geraci


The band Stones Throw would be my last serious band effort in 1999-2001.  The band had major label interest and played at every SXSW showcase from 1999-2001.  We also played for record executives in Philadelphia and Atlantic City.  Gary Geraci would join us for a few highly profiled shows in Austin most notably at Antone's and Lucy's Retired Surfer Bar.  One of the highlights of the CD is a rousing live rendition of "Voodoo Chile" with Gary on the congas.  Other standouts include "By Your Side"  and "She Walks Away."

The Divas & Cavaliers were just a fun little cover band Gary and I joined in May of 2009.  We got the rock-n-roll fever again after a fun Titans reunion went down at my wedding reception in March of 2009.

Gary and I would play roughly 14 shows with the band in just 3 months time.  One of the highlights was a retro 1980s costume party and 'biker' night at Chestnut Square in Bastrop, TX.  Unfortunately, the bandleader ran the band as if it was a major corporation and became too much to handle. 

This was our last music project to date.
