Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey’s Interview with Stone James from Hollis Dorian

Stone Jamess has always had a thing for big riffs and honest songs. As a former member of the hard-driving rock band The Dead Show Dealers, he cut his teeth on loud guitars, gritty vocals, and no-frills live shows that left everything out on the stage. That chapter was all about raw energy and rock ‘n’ roll swagger—but like any good storyteller, Stone was ready for a new direction.

These days, you’ll find him bringing that same fire to Hollis Dorian, a country-rock outfit that blends rootsy twang with a rock edge. It’s a sound that feels like a dusty backroad with the volume cranked up—a little more heart, a little more space to breathe, but still packing that punch he’s known for. Whether he’s laying down guitar lines or harmonizing on a hook that won’t leave your head, Stone’s presence is undeniable.

With Hollis Dorian, Stone’s tapping into something deeper—songs that reflect where he’s been and where he’s going. Still rocking, just with a little more soul.
