Joe Stuby & the Rocking Horse Band

A sound deeply steeped in the blues with a hard hitting heavy funk rock groove is what you will hear when Joe Stuby & Rocking Horse perform. Influences such as Hendrix, Funkadelic, Sly Stone and Stevie Ray Vaughan form the core of the sound as spontaneity and improvisation highlight the live shows. Just recently Joe released a new album titled "Ying is Yang" in January of 2011, co-produced, co-written with Bernie Worrell (who also plays on the CD). The band also has two previous records "Searching the Constellations for Love" and "Cosmic Soul" which feature Rock n Roll Hall of Famer's Buddy Miles and Bernie Worrell, respectively.
