Bluestone was born in 2002 and was conceived by four inspired musicians in Ottawa. The band is fronted by a brother sister combo that drives a musical synergy that is thicker than blood. Known for their live shows, they’ve developed their sound into a unique form of rock that is blended with guitar harmonies, duelling solos, male and female lead vocals, and it is all supported by grooving bass and tight percussion.

Ben Russell’s powerful raw vocals and aggressive guitar playing creates a perfect compliment and counterpoint to Angie Russell’s soulful voice. The two blend their sounds into a dynamic, unified, hard rock performance that is unique to Bluestone. Mike Stoodley’s bass reverberates a deep rich groove that highlights the band’s hooks and addictive sound. Sandy Hunter provides the band with a worldly style of rock’n roll percussion that sets the beat for their music. Three classically trained musicians supply the band with ample talent and creativity to build intricate and addictive multi-layered songs. The band’s strength is their live performance that is directed by the theatre graduate front man Ben Russell. The band creates an unforgettable experience through the melange of Ben and Angie’s unique voices, exceptional guitar playing, and a sense of competition and showmanship between them.
