THE BLUE STONES

The Blue Stones’ sound is a buzzing cauldron of rock, blues, hip-hop, and pop — a signature blend that’s always set them apart. They’re fueled by contrasts and a controlled sense of chaos, both in the studio and during their jaw-dropping live shows. Tarek Jafar (vocals, guitar) and Justin Tessier (drums) formed the band during their college days. Inspired by the freedom of boundary-free creation, they started in small-town bars and now headline iconic venues in Los Angeles, London, and Toronto. Along the way, they’ve amassed over 300 million streams, three JUNO Award nominations, and radio hits like “Shakin’ Off the Rust,” which topped Canada’s Rock chart and hit #5 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart in the U.S. Their latest fourth album, METRO, expands their ethos even further — it’s their most liberated and uncompromising work to date.
