Spending my early days in Austin, Texas in the 1970’s allowed me to experience and witness a wide variety of exceptional musicians and musical trends; from the Cosmic Cowboy country scare to the electric blues revival of the Vaughan brothers. Concentrating mainly as a guitar player led me to playing with a variety of bands and musical styles throughout my career and working with talented songwriters whose songwriting crafts did not go unnoticed. One of the highlights of those days was opening for Bob Dylan in 1991 in front of 5000 people and getting great reviews in the music press.
While researching my family’s Scottish and English heritage in 2001, I came across a body of songs which captivated me to the point where I decided I had to record and perform them. The CD is titled Off To Sea Once More. The songs are ballads and sea shanties some of which date back several hundred years. The melodies are haunting, their rhythms suggesting the bobbing of the tall sail ships, and their lyrics tell the colorful stories of the joys and hardships of the men whose lives were dependent on the world’s oceans. Using existing lyrics that pre-dated recorded music allowed me the freedom to reinterpret the songs and write the music and melodies to fit the words. This project left a lasting impression and inspired me to begin song writing in earnest.
The Sol Surfers were formed in 2007 by Lynn Stokes to showcase new original material. All members of the group have extensive professional experience performing live for many years. The band plays original songs with a classic rock feel blending the sounds of soul music with the rhythms and chord structure of surf-rock and new-age, retro-psychedelic.

RadioIndy Present the New Release: “Terra Nocturne" (Rock) by Lynn Stokes & Sol Surfers http://www.radioindy.com/new_releases_all.php |

 “Terra Nocturne” by Lynn Stokes & Sol Surfers is a musical journey through many moods and emotions, highlighted by well-crafted songs, thoughtful arrangements and exceptional musicianship. Each piece is very symphonic and orchestral in nature, representing a single movement in the overall album, which is meant to be a cohesive and interrelated piece of music. The style of writing on this album draws a strong inspiration from the music of Pink Floyd. Listen to “Where Have You Gone” and “Let Go,” for great examples of this in both the songwriting and the smooth, mellow vocal style. While this influence is evident, this material is also very well-written and unique, being calm and psychedelic while also complex and elaborate at the same time. The album contains many sections where instruments are panned throughout the stereo spectrum, providing an entrancing listening experience through headphones. This release also features many excellent musical performances, from the skilled saxophone runs on “Sacred Moon’s Light” to the fine guitar work by Stokes on the title track “Terra Nocturne.” “Open Door” and “Across the Barrier” are of a more upbeat nature, with great performances by all involved. “Terra Nocturne” by Lynn Stokes & Sol Surfers will be enjoyed by fans of rock music with the symphonic atmosphere of Pink Floyd and Roger Waters. -Rodney and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team Check out Lynn Stokes & Sol Surfers 's music on RadioIndy.com with link to purchase and links to popular sites |
