Trekking across the USA in promotion of their latest full-length ‘Kicking The Can’, Edmonton’s favourite rock reggae quintet Stone Iris have posted a new tour blog chronicling their recent adventures in California and the Hollywoods.

Blog posting can be read at the following link: http://www.stoneiris.com/2013/05/52013-1249-pm-california-and-the-hollywoods/

To view past blog postings from the tour, please visit http://www.stoneiris.com

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 is in store for Stone Iris in 2013; including extensive touring, two full length albums, the first being their eighth and newest recording ‘Kicking The Can’ released on March 26th.

Releasing their first single ‘I Wanna’ 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 second single and first music video ‘Taste of Fame’ onBlankTV. Stone Iris has hit the road for their second North American Tour since supporting last year’s award nominated EP Illuminations.
