And I suppose, ours is similiar to others.  

The Blackstones were initially birthed out of the dusty remains of a band called “The Tremolo Cowboys”.  Which was fronted by yours truly, (Aaron LaMere) and whose members included myself, Michael Salinas, Bobby Love, and Keith Young.  Three of the closes friends I ever had in the world...  

 

     At some point, as The Tremolo Cowboys we put out a cd... and it got a lot of great reviews and even generated some label interest.  So we went on some small tours and then disbanded just as our families lives were falling apart back home.  A couple of years later, after things had calmed down a bit, we got back together and started playing again.  We reformed as “The Blackstones” in 2005, though shortly after our first record release guitar player Bobby Love dropped out of the band.  

 

My close friend Michael Salinas and I went on writing songs and playing with different musicians and with the help of our close friends CJ Pickett, and Max Taylor have released this new record in December of 2006 (The Blackstones EP).  

 

In short, after years of figuring out what we were even trying to do and trying to create... the new record is the best we’ve ever made and at least deserves a listen from anyone who liked any of our earlier material.  

 

        I guess to add the last chapter to the story, Michael Salinas decided to drop out of the band in November of 2006..  shortly before the release of The Blackstones ep.  Michael and I both had kind of agreed and...   simply put, it was and is time to move on...     and being thus, in late 2006 My wife and I decided to relocate to the Nashville, TN area in order for me to be closer to the music that I love.  The Blackstones continue to operate in 2007 with Franklin, TN as our home and touring base.  Did I leave anything out??   Drop me a line and I’ll fill you in on the rest of the details if you wish...          

 

In the meantime,...
