Stone Foundation is a British band known for their distinct blend of soul, funk, jazz, and rock influences. Formed in the late 1990s in Warwickshire, England, the group was founded by long-time friends Neil Sheasby (bass) and Neil Jones (vocals and guitar). Over the years, the band evolved from a local outfit into a critically acclaimed ensemble, respected for their authentic sound and dynamic live performances. Stone Foundation's music is deeply rooted in classic soul and Northern soul traditions, characterized by rich horn arrangements, heartfelt lyrics, and socially conscious themes. Their style pays homage to legendary acts such as Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, and The Style Council, while carving out a sound uniquely their own. The band's breakthrough came in the 2010s, as they began collaborating with prominent artists including Paul Weller, who significantly influenced their musical direction and appeared on multiple projects. Albums such as "Street Rituals" (2017), produced by Weller himself, and subsequent releases like "Everyone, Anyone" (2019) and "Is Love Enough" (2020) cemented their reputation as torchbearers of modern soul. Known for their committed fanbase and tireless touring schedule, Stone Foundation continues to embody the spirit of independent music-making. Their dedication to genuine songwriting and timeless sound has earned them a lasting place in the contemporary British music scene.
