Formerly based in Evansville, The Cold Stares have been pushing the boundaries of what a two-man rock band can do since they first came onto the scene in 2010. Winning the Hard Rock Cafe’s “Ambassador’s of Rock in Nashville” award, the band then toured the country backing their release of their first self-produced album, A Cold Wet Night and a Howling Wind. They have shared the stage with acts as diverse as Spoon and JJ Grey and, in 2014, they performed on the Ferdinand Folk Festival’s main stage as support for the then-headliner Hayes Carll.
They have seen commercial and critical success (A Cold Wet Night and a Howling Wind stayed at number 1 on Amazon’s blues charts for six weeks and their single, “Fire in the Sand”, had success at rock and alternative radio in 2015. The band recently signed with SmallStone Records and plan on touring to support a pair of 2015 EPs and will soon begin work on their full-length debut with SmallStone.
