Kid Rock says, “Ty Stone is an undeniable talent. He is Blue Eyed Soul at its finest.
His powerful and soulful voice are truly something to witness, and
the songs he writes are even better.”
At 11 years old, Ty Stone purchased his first 4 track recorder and began making music. He would spend hours locked in his parents’ basement recording his best imitations of the Beastie Boys and The Fresh Prince. As Ty matured so did his influences, his love for making music, and his amazing voice.
After Ty taught himself to play several instruments, he began writing rock, country, and folk songs. He formed the band “2 Days Straight” in 1999 and began performing live shows in Detroit. The Southern Rock outfit found immediate success locally and was soon noticed by Nashville producer and writer, Blue Miller (India Arie, Blue October). Blue agreed to bring the band to Nashville and produce 2 Days Straight’s first record, “The Chrome Album.” It showcased Stone’s powerful vocals over heavy blues guitar riffs. The recording was critically acclaimed and locally successful, but never received the national attention that Stone began to seek .
Just as the group was poised to follow up their success, Ty was laid off from his job at Great Lakes Steel. Though initially devastated, Ty quickly saw this as an opportunity to escape the family business and pursue his dreams of a career in music. He decided to move to Los Angeles, and got his first taste of performing as a solo act.
Ty spent the next two years performing at every major venue in Los Angeles. He also recorded his first solo record, “TCMFB,” with Brian Irwin producing. Ty and his new band headlined several concerts in Los Angeles for Indie 103.1fm, and Ty’s song, “Beauty Queen,” was featured in full on the finale of ABC’s “The Bachelorette.”
Ironically, it was back in Detroit where Ty would find his next major break. Before Stone had a chance to shop his new record in Los Angeles, one of Ty’s friends gave a copy of it to Kid Rock at a Piston’s game. Impressed, Kid Rock quickly offered to take Ty under his wing and signed him to a development deal with Top Dog records.
Over the next 18 months “Ty Stone and the Truth” recorded an album with Kid Rock at his Clarkston, MI home. Driven to create a nationwide fanbase, Kid Rock hired Ty to open over 40 arena concerts for the “Live Trucker” tour. Ty’s fans now include Uncle Kracker, David Allen Coe, Hank Williams Jr., Big and Rich, Travis Tritt and many others.
Stone resides in Nashville and is focusing on performing, as well as developing his songwriting career. He is currently signed to Top Dog/Atlantic Records, a member of NSAI, and represented by Music Attorney Thomas Valentino.

In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also call Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen. The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra.. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin. Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. ! Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of 'cocktails', 'highballs' and just a good old-fashioned 'stiff drink'. Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO. Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them. If you don't send this to five old friends right away there will be five fewer people laughing in the world. LMAO
Last year, the Bert Show on Q100 FM (Atlanta GA) launched their "BIG THANK YOU" for military personell. They collected over 350,000 handwritten thank you letters and delivered then to any service man or woman stationed outside the US.
This year, due to the red tape involved with the letters, they have launched a website (below) The new goal is to collect 1,051,200 messages by Thanksgiving Day. Each message will be posted on the site and when the goal is reached one message will be flashed every 30 seconds... for an entire year. Our service men and women will be a click away from your thoughts and appreciation.
The messages are limited to 160 characters, so this only takes a few seconds. Think of it this way... it'll take about a minute to leave 4 messages - one for each branch of the military.
PLEASE HELP and pass this on!!! http://www. bigthankyouproject. com
