About
Vine and Stone is a Lexington, Kentucky band comprised of guitarist, Bront Davis and drummer, Paul Nuzzo. The two trade-off lead vocals to achieve their distinctive sound.
Vine and Stone is a stripped-down to essentials rock band with a broad array of influences, ranging from Hendrix and Dire Straits to Tycho and from Genesis and Brian Eno to bands like Wilco and Lord Huron. For a duo, they bring a ton of energy to live performances, and audiences are often amazed at how much sound two focused individuals can make.
With their first studio recording, The Project, Vine and Stone worked to create lyrically compelling songs that relish story-telling and wordplay combined with catchy melodies, driving and intricate percussion, and multi-layered guitar tracks. The tunes span the gamut from straight up rock and roll to alt-country to experiment and ambient.
Bront picked up the guitar as a teenager and now has been playing for over thirty years. Influenced early by the guitar heroes of yore (Page, Hendrix, and Gilmour) his listening and playing tastes have expanded to players like Ralph Towner, Andrew York, and Julian Lage. As a songwriter, he prefers the esoteric to the commonplace, citing as influences such artists as David Sylvian, The National, and Kate Bush.
A multi-instrumentalist, Paul started playing clarinet and saxophone, but gravitates more to percussion and the drum kit. A devotee of Genesis, Rush, and Prog Rock in general, Paul is not only the rhythmic backbone of Vine and Stone but a fantastic singer, arranger, and producer.
Bront and Paul have worked together since 2011 with the band IronWorks and each have a vast array of experiences playing wineries, breweries, bars, restaurants, University events, and various other charitable and private functions. The group is prepared with over 4 hours of music that include their original songs and favorites from artists like The Beatles, U2, The Police, Elvis Costello, Oasis, Peter Gabriel and many more. The group is adaptable to any musical situation or venue (ok, may be not a hip-hop show).
