CW. Stoneking is a musician who draws influence from pre-war blues, jazz, 1920s calypso, folklore, and personal experience to produce his unique original songs. He accompanies himself with National Reso-Phonic guitar and tenor banjo, and with his amazing brass band the 'Primitive Horn Orchestra'. Stoneking's songs range in style from lonesome field holler blues, to hokum blues duets, to full blown jungle epics.
The singer-guitarist, aka Christopher William, hails from the small town of Katherine in Northern Australia and has released five albums to date. Working with his band The Blue Tits during early performances CW. Stoneking now plays with the Primitive Horn Orchestra backing him up.
