This Friday’s Guest DJ: SPEAKING TO STONES

August 16, 2022 Bryce Van Patten The Friday Guest DJ Hour Show, Radio Shows 0

Praised for his marriage of technique and expressivity, Tony M. Vinci has gained international acclaim as an award-winning song writer and solo guitarist. In 2006, Tony formed SPEAKING TO STONES, an international progressive rock project. Their self-titled debut was released to critical acclaim, winning Virtuoso Magazine’s Progressive Metal CD of the Year 2006.

SPEAKING TO STONES is ready to release their third effort: (In)Human Error, a personal journey through the beauty and disappointment of trying to make change in our too, too broken world. To help him incorporate elements of more modern progressive bands such as Periphery and Animals as Leaders, Tony enlisted wunderkind drummer Mike Malyan (Monuments, Disperse) and vocalist Maxi Curnow. Their collaboration produced a collection of compositions that are as lyrically rich as they are sonically diverse.

On the Guest DJ Show this Friday, guitarist Tony Vinci of SPEAKING TO STONES will play for you his favorite and/or inspirational music tracks. After his playlist, we’ll play a handful of tracks off their latest release, (In)Human Error!
