Inspired by the British Invasion and the psychedelic explosion of the era, the group evolved from neighborhood garage rehearsals into a powerful live act known for its original songwriting, musicianship, and energetic performances. Originally performing as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Three Dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, then \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKnights of Sound\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the band adopted the name Stone Garden in 1967 as the psychedelic movement swept America. The lineup soon expanded with bassist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDan Merrell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and later featured accomplished musicians including \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Purviance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Stone Garden quickly built a loyal following throughout the Pacific Northwest, performing extensively in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Northern California, British Columbia, and Montana. The band blended psychedelia, hard-rock and blues, influenced by artists such as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Doors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJimi Hendrix\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCream\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Their independently released single \"Oceans\" received regional radio airplay and helped establish Stone Garden as one of the Northwest's most promising young bands. Later sessions at Vancouver's Ripcord Studios further captured the band's creative evolution. Although Stone Garden disbanded in 1972 after relocating to Seattle, their recordings survived as sought-after collector's pieces, first issued by the legendary Rockadelic label and have since been rediscovered by fans of vintage hard-psychedelic and garage rock around the world.
