Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Red Stone Revival is a modern day take on vintage sounds that transport listeners back to simpler musical times when lyrics and story-telling were the forefront of the musical experience. In 2015, frontman Justin Wyatt, co-wrote three top 5, as well as two top 10 songs on the Iceman's Independent Country Music Charts. The song “Whiskey Excuse” remained in the top 5 for 13 consecutive weeks. The album and subsequent live performances also projected Wyatt’s former band to 2 consecutive Queen City Country band of the year awards (2015/16). In 2023 Wyatt was a semi-finalist in the Songoftheyear.com songwriting contest for the lyrical composition "Saving Grace".
