Born in the sweaty dive bars of East Nashville, Lonesome Joy is a keys-fueled rock & roll revival, blending the acclaimed songwriting of frontman Stevie Redstone — hailed by Rolling Stone for his blend of vintage cool and contemporary craft — with the electricity of an explosive, rafter-rattling live show. Redstone debuted the project with 2024’s Lonesome Joy, a self-titled album produced by GRAMMY winner Dave Cobb and stocked with radio singles like “Wire” and “Roll With The Thunder.” It was onstage, though, that Lonesome Joy found its true home. Anchored by the double-fisted fury of Redstone’s keyboard, Lonesome Joy’s shows have become go-to destinations for audiences looking to check their baggage at the door and escape into a world of groove and grit.
Lonesome Joy’s newest release, At The Coliseum, captures the band in its element: onstage in a hometown venue, stretching its songs to new limits while channeling the funky fire of Little Feat, Leon Russell, and other mad dogs from the 1970s. It’s a classic sound for the modern world, stacked high with Wurlitzer, Rhodes, organ, and the melodies of a rock & roll ringleader who’s learned to bridge the gap between past and present.
