J.R. & the Stingrays are a Boise Idaho based 50's and 60's rock and roll show band, originally established in 1985. The Stingrays perform a Sha-Na-Na style oldies show with a vintage flair reminiscent of the American Graffiti era, covering tunes from Bill Haley & the Comets, The Drifters, Beatles, Elvis and many other great rock and roll artists of the past.
The Stingrays are probably best known for their oldies Rock-n-Roll and Doo-Wop style emulating the great harmony bands of the sock-hop era, their retro-nostalgic music style crosses over virtually every age group and their loyal following includes music lovers of all genres. Every song in their setlist has to pass the band's strict "C.D.I." test, (Chicks Dig It), and be able to fill a dance floor within 37 seconds.
Back in the early 90's, the Stingrays took their oldies music to a whole new level by promoting the band as "the real deal" for the local oldies fans and the Stingrays were often featured as an opening act or as backing musicians for several famous groups in the oldies genre. Throughout the 90's they were regulars of oldies radio special events and concerts. The Stingrays were constantly on the road playing corporate shows, concert venues, casinos, car shows and music festivals all over the western United States and beyond.
Since 2012 the Stingrays have been traveling the world featured as the "House Band" on the popular oldies themed cruise hosted by Paul Revere's Raiders, Promoted as the "Where the Action is" Carribean Cruise on the Princess cruise line and they have had the distinct honor of backing many of the national headliners such as Gary Lewis, Charlie Thomas' Drifters, Marshal Lytle of the Comets, the Hollies, Classics IV and many other touring acts as well as being featured headliners themselves.
When reached for comment the Stingrays collectively said: " This album was a true labor of love that we recorded for our dedicated fans, and we would not be where we are today without their love and support over the last 30 something years, We are looking forward to many more rockin' years to come".
