New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Stone Iris official website) Releasing their album 'Kicking The Can' earlier this year, Edmonton, AB's favourite rock reggae quintet Stone Iris are gearing up for their second USA tour since May along with their second 2013 album 'Grande National'. Set for release on August 27th, the 14 track voyage takes the listener through a revival of blues and rock reggae doused in groove and North American nostalgia.
"This will be our second musical journey through North
America this year. Touring so often away from our local scene has done nothing but fuel our appetite for adventure and elevation. We're returning to many of our previous tour stops as well as many new cities. We will be on the road for 2 months going coast to coast."
New music, merchandise and a groove heavy evening featuring our one of a kind blues rock/reggae sound will be available at all of our shows. Check us out online for a date near you." comments vocalist / guitarist El Niven.

Stone Iris is a brotherhood of like-minded musicians. From humble beginnings in Edmonton, Canada, their fusion of self described Southern Rock from the True North / Reggae
Music from a Cold Dark Place has been blazing across Canada and the USA over the years.
With consistent touring, busking, jamming and writing, the undeniable, yet un-classifiable spectacle known as Stone Iris has been persistent in sharing their craft and passion. With a love for performing, their live show is as honest and original, as it is part of who and what they are. Driven by groove, it makes you move.
Much has been in store for Stone Iris in 2013; including extensive touring, two full length albums, the first being their eighth recording 'Kicking The Can' released in March and now to be followed by their ninth release 'Grande National' this coming August.
Releasing their first single 'I Wanna' from 'Kicking The Can' to radio across Canada along with local support by Edmonton's rock authority Sonic 102.9 FM who named the group 'Band of The Month' for March plus premiering their music video 'Taste of Fame' on BlankTV. Stone Iris is hitting the road for their second North American Tour since releasing 'Kicking The Can'.
