Grim Stone is the shadow-blues howl of the northern prairie — a one-man wrecking ball of dark Americana and apocalyptic folk. Based in Edmonton, he conjures raw, bone-deep ballads that echo the ghost of Son House through a post-sludge metal haze, steeped in sorrow, grit, and southern gothic soul. From the ashes of tragedy and heartbreak, Grim Stone drags melody through the mud and makes it bleed

In the 1990′s, Gary became one of Canada’s leading piano artists, releasing numerous commercially successful albums, some of them meditative, others solo instrumental. He has studied at both the Banff Centre for the Arts and the University of Calgary; taught at Grant McEwan College (Edmonton, Alberta); worked as a jazz pianist throughout Canada for years; and has lived in Calgary, Banff and Edmonton before permanently residing in the Canadian west coast city of Vancouver with his wife, photographer, writer and artist Fazalunissa Carole Harmon.

I  am a singer, trumpet player, composer and arranger.  I love, and love to perform, a diverse selection of music including Jazz, Soul, Funk, Rock, Blues, Gospel and more. I love my job, and I love sharing music with people here in Calgary and anywhere that I am fortunate enough to travel to.  I hope you enjoy the music I have on here.
