While Kristin Tinsley’s range of musical taste is extensive, a seminal moment occurred when she first watched and listened to Fleetwood Mac’s “The Dance.” Stevie Nicks distinctive voice resonated and called out to her. And, she took to heart the advice Tom Petty gave to Stevie when she was recording “Trouble in Shangri-La,” which became the lyrics to her song “That Made Me Stronger,” “…Will you write this for me He says no, you write your songs yourself That made me stronger It made me hold on to me…,” That strength lead Kristin to know she has the voice and talent to lead a Stevie Nicks tribute band, Stand Back in recognition to her all-time favorite musician.

Puzzletruck writes songs with a unique set of “House Rules:”
#1 They tell stories - they come first - many of the stories are about growing up in small-town, rural Georgia. #2 No music could be created/written until the story/words were finished. #3 Stephen could not write any music for the stories on an electric guitar - had to be acoustic guitar or piano.
These house rules were to help them completely re-think how they would write songs. Stephen Blackburn & Rick Reese

Christopher Crompton is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, writer and poet from the West Midlands.
His work is created from a diverse palette of influences that cross genres and cultures. His distinctive voice and guitar playing draw these threads together into a unique sound and presentation. The subjects he addresses are equally heterogeneous, from the personal to the political, from the Stoic to the spiritual, from the everyday to the extraordinary. In every corner of experience, Christopher seeks the sensibilities that render the individual universal.
His words and music set out to make you feel something. They challenge but carry compassion. They empathise, lament, celebrate and encourage.
