Mike Fraser has been instrumental in the creation of many classic recordings with albums by AC/DC, Aerosmith, and Metallica among his many credits. With over 35 years in the industry Mike Fraser will take the helm as producer, engineer, and mixer on Black Stone’s upcoming EP tentatively scheduled for a spring 2016 release. Recording sessions will take place at Armoury Studios in Vancouver, BC.<br> <br>"At the end of the summer of 2014 we started writing for our next album. It was at that time we contacted Mike Fraser and started a working relationship. Mike agreed to work with us only if the songs were strong enough. After months of working on demos our goals were reached and we are proud to announce that Mike Fraser will produce, engineer, and mix our upcoming EP. To be working with Mike Fraser is an honour and we are looking forward to the experience.”</div> <br>Check Black Stone’s website and social media for more information and updates.<br> <br>For more info on Black Stone – <a href="http://www.blackstonemusic.com/">www.blackstonemusic.com</a><br>For more info on Mike Fraser – <a href="http://www.mikefrasermix.com/">www.mikefrasermix.com</a><br>For more info on Armoury Studios – <a href="http://www.armourystudios.com/">www.armourystudios.com</a>Black Stonetag:blackstonemusic.com,2005:Post/36855282015-03-27T00:00:00-04:002022-05-18T03:22:47-04:00Q92 Timmins - Black Stone InterviewQ92 Timmins' Ryan Daly spends some time with Black Stone's Rob Faries ahead of their March 28th show at the McIntyre Ballroom.<br><br><span class="font_large"><a contents="Listen Here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.q92timmins.com/2015/03/27/under-the-radar-black-stone/" target="_blank">Listen Here</a></span>Black Stonetag:blackstonemusic.com,2005:Post/35316622015-02-01T23:40:00-05:002023-03-09T04:11:12-05:00Black Stone wins ROCKWiRED Reader's Poll AwardBlack Stone wins Best Performance by an American Indian/First Nations Artist or Band in the 2015 ROCKWiRED Reader's Poll Awards.<br style="color: rgb(20, 24, 35); font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Check it out here @ <a href="http://www.rockwired.com/2015rrpawinners.html" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: rgb(59, 89, 152); cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" target="_blank">http://www.rockwired.com/<wbr></wbr>2015rrpawinners.htm<br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/149881/2986d6cd09a900fc0dabccffb1a04bdbc452ea58/original/black-stone-2015-rockwired-readers-poll.jpg?1423975029" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></a>Black Stonetag:blackstonemusic.com,2005:Post/35316742015-01-30T23:50:00-05:002022-05-11T04:50:34-04:00Black Stone in Fort Albany, Ontario<iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="zAKemr_n3Xc" data-video-thumb-url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/zAKemr_n3Xc/0.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zAKemr_n3Xc?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="200" width="320" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe>Black Stonetag:blackstonemusic.com,2005:Post/35316612015-01-30T23:35:00-05:002022-05-28T20:40:46-04:00Congrats to Helen Knapaysweet on winning our Epiphone SG giveaway<div style="text-align: center;">Congrats to Helen Knapaysweet on winning our Epiphone SG giveaway after our January 30th performance at Winter CreeFest in Fort Albany, Ontario.
