“This is uh, C.W. Stoneking, an Australian artist who sounds like he’s 600 years old,
he’s much younger actually, but he’s got a style all his own”
Tom Waits, BBC 6 Radio 2023
C.W. Stoneking is an Australian/American singer, musician, recording artist. Born in
Katherine in the Northern Territory of Australia in the mid 1970s. He has lived and
toured across Australia, the UK, Europe, and the U.S.A. He has independently
released 3 critically acclaimed original full length albums, King Hokum, Jungle
Blues, and Gon’ Boogaloo. He’s performed extensively internationally with various
backing band lineups and as a solo performer, the instrumentation of his musical
groups and recordings mirror the stylistic inspirations of his songwriting, New
Orleans style brass and drums, Traditional African, Caribbean style percussion,
early 20th century blues, jazz, and American folk styled guitar and banjo, gospel
inspired electric guitar and background singing…
C.W. Stoneking’s music and lyrics draw inspiration from a wide spectrum of
musical styles and traditions which he combines to create his own unique sound.
“There are multitudes in Stoneking’s music. It’s probably easiest to describe him
as a ‘blues artist,’ but the term disguises what makes his music special. There’s so
much in there. 1920s pre-war blues..New Orleans jazz..jug band
music..hokum..country..calypso..jump jive..early rock’n’roll..gospel.. His gift is that
he brings them all together without anything sounding out of place. He finds the
strands that connect all of these different styles and gently braids them together.”
Jim Hickson , Roots Magazine 2018
“If I could ever trade my speaking voice with a person, it would be C.W Stoneking.
He just sounds like he's from a ghost ship in the middle of monster island to me.
It's just beautiful.”
Jack White, Double J 2018
