Stella & The Stanleys

Bio

Stella and the Stanleys was formed in 1998 by the folk-rock duo of Lisa Jones and Bill Bromfield (aka The Cause). During the 1990’s the duo released two critically acclaimed CD’s of original music and performed at hundreds of top east coast venues from New York to Nashville.

Lisa has extensive experience performing and emceeing. She studied voice at George Washington University and with well-known vocal coaches Lisa Rich and Jim Morris. She brings a strong, distinctive voice and solid, versatile guitar playing to the band.

Bill performed with several east coast bands early in his career and has worked as a studio and live musician in Washington DC, New York and Nashville. He leads Stella and the Stanleys with an ear for all types of music, and brings humor, energy and impassioned vocals to the group.

Jeff is an accomplished guitarist who played for several years with hard rock bands in Germany. He tempered his style by studying jazz guitar and has since added blues, pop and R&B styles to his repertoire. He adds richness and style to the band.

Mark is a talented drummer and singer who played for a number of years with the Navy Band. The service bands are very competitive and only the finest musicians are chosen. Mark is skilled in many styles and helps lay the foundation for getting down and dirty or laying back – and everything in between!
Stella and the Stanleys have a great sound and performance style that earns them consistent rave reviews and referrals.
