CONCERT IN THE PARK - Concert in the Park
The music of Finding Stella nails the classic rock and pop spirit of the 70’s and 80’s and throws in a newer, warmer rock quality that draws huge crowds from along the West coast and beyond.
Singer/songwriter Chris Snyder along with Tim Christmon, Rich Flynn, Shoshannah Beck, Louis Stein and Victoria Ovieda attribute many different influences and styles to their music – smoothly jumping from classic rock to a little R & B to pop and funk - to create a rich rock sound.
“I was heavily influenced by the music of the 80’s. That’s what I grew up on…the Stones, Heart, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Blondie…they all rocked!”, Snyder notes.
Finding Stella is committed to new rock - today’s rock - crafting song after song, and delivering the feel of a present day Heart. The emergence of vocalist Snyder quickly fills the senses of the discerning music lover. The band’s first album “Twitch” sold out quickly during 2004 and represents an expression of the bands’ musical potency, command of their craft and serves up a huge plate of passionate rock.
Finding Stella was voted the “Best San Francisco Rock Band” in the SOBE’/Hard Rock Cafe’ Ultimate Altitude Buzz Battle of the Bands, December 6, 2003.
2004's highlight was the Pleasanton Concert in the Park series exclusively featuring Finding Stella, which drew in excess of 3,000 fans! We were invited back in 2006 and again this year. Thank you to all the fans for their support!
In September 2003, Finding Stella was chosen to debut four of their original compositions for the new Treo 600 SmartPhone from Handspring. MP3s of “Street Fair”, “The Day & Night”, “Listen” and “Would You Know” are available for download.
Earlier in 2003, Finding Stella was selected to support Monte Cristo Films in their presentation of “Beaver Run Café”. This independent feature was produced by Rose Hawayek and features the music of Finding Stella. The band was also featured on The Music Channel’s “Locals Only TV”, and filmed live in San Francisco in December 2002.
Their latest album is a collection of 11 songs written and co-produced by Snyder, former band member Crystal Dykstra and award-winning producer Scott Ross. The studio production of their freshman effort steadfastly delivers the cool rifts, creative drum beats and smooth harmonies that live audiences have come to love about Finding Stella.
