notes
They say talent is inherited, and such is the case with the Stewart Family. Brothers Ritchie and Jason are the sons of Dick, lead guitarist of the legendary instrumental combo, The Knights. Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Ritchie and Jason started playing music at a young age and spent some time in Austin, Texas in the early nineties where they pursued their craft. Ritchie went onto become a full-fledged member of the recently resurrected Knights, but continues working on other projects with his brother, where he handles lead vocals, rhythm guitar and bass.
Rounded out by Jason on lead guitar, keyboards and back-up vocals, the dynamic duo has just released their debut album, "Back In The Moat," which addresses many different tones, moods and styles to incredible effects. Heavy rock sounds, propelled by shredding guitars and pumping rhythms sit comfortably next to slower paced numbers designed of smart melodies and disciplined execution. Doom and gloom lyrics that are almost science fiction in nature mix well with musings on love and life, resulting in a compelling collection of songs revealing influences as varied as Black Sabbath, John Lennon, Van Halen and Bruce Springsteen. A touch of reggae and a pinch of good old-fashioned rock and roll are even slipped into the show. Ritchie and Jason wrote and arranged all of the tunes on the disc, and Jason engineered the sessions. Presenting an array of intriguing twists and turns, "Back in the Moat" is an immediate delight. May these two brothers reap the success they so rightly deserve. Says Ritch, “Subconscious writing is the key to the lock on the door of my mind’s eye. In fact, two of the songs were Jason’s compositions to which I merely wrote the vocals and melody line.”
