Nine Stones Close

Nine Stones Close was begun in 2008 as a solo project to exorcize some personal demons. Adrian Jones (Numb, Lie Big) recorded the first cd, St Lo, independently in the Netherlands. It took less than five months, with Adrian taking on all roles, from writing and playing to mixing and marketing. After airplay and interest from The Dividing Line Network he received some critical acclaim and interest, and began working on a follow up. In 2009, fate led Adrian to meet up with Brendan Eyre (Riversea), Marc Atkinson (Mandalaband, Riversea) and Neil Quarrell; then the project really grew wings. The chemistry was immediate and tangible; Nine Stones Close became a working band for the Traces album. The band are already busy with a follow up, planned for 2011.
