Bio / Background
The Stone Crazy Blues Band, Northwest based blues trio, was formed in early 2004 by guitarist Chris Morda, bassist Forrest Giberson, and drummer Lorne Watson. The band's members all have diverse backgrounds, Chris has an Ethnomusicology Degree, Forrest has bachelor of music degree in Studio Music and Jazz with specialization in performance, music theory, music history and composition, and Lorne graduated with a Bachelors of Music Education and Percussion Performance. All three are currently private, as well as group, music instructors and have a wide range of performance experience.
On the band's debut cd, “Barnyard Boogie” the bands diverse background is showcased on classic , modern, as well as original blues.
↓ more ↓Classic blues dating back to the 1930's such as Blind Willie Johnson's "Motherless Children" , Willie Dixons 's "Little Red Rooster" , and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee’s “Trouble In Mind” reflect the bands innovative approach to blues classics featuring Chris on lap slide guitar. Sonny Boy Williamon’s electric blues classic from the 1950’s “Help Me” features standard guitar and showcases the influence of white blues great Johnny Winter’s influence on Chris’s playing.
The Band focuses on originals on “The Freeze” an instrumental tribute to the “IceMan” Albert Collins (whom Chris’s primary guitar teacher as a youngster, Robert Noll, toured with in the early 80’s,) the band stretches out with special guest on Hammond Organ, Joe Doria, one of the most highly sought out Organ players in the Northwest. Joe also lends his talents on another instrumental, Think Of You, which breaks the blues tradition in harmonic structure and features a beautiful meditatively melodic sentiment which has proven to be a fan favorite at the bands’ performances in the greater Puget Sound area. A sense of humor is showcased on the one of the bands original vocal numbers, 1/2 Steppin Chicken, featuring drummer Lorne Watson on vocals. Lorne also adds a light hearted touch to the bands experiment in microtonal music on ‘Workin Blues”, this song features the 12 Tone Ultra Plus Guitar with 29 notes per octave, juxtaposing the serious musical approach of minimalism and the overtone series with his casual vocal delivery. The bands range stands out on a number of other instrumentals as well. "Introspect” inluenced by East Indian Music, which once again features Chris on lap slide guitar, also features an extended drum solo. “Slow Down” and the title track of the cd Barnyard Boogie” are instrumental slide guitar workouts focusing once again on the classic blues sound as well as a country influence.
