Album Notes

The Limestones are a seven-voice male a cappella group at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN. Founded in 1989, the group is now in its 20th year of existence at St. Olaf. The Limestones have grown over the years, working through an exciting evolution of a cappella singing. They have incorporated a more contemporary pop style of music and have performed throughout the Midwest for schools, businesses, private functions, and have also performed in such places as The Ordway Center in St. Paul, MN and on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion. The Limestones have performed with professional a cappella groups such as Ball in the House, M-Pact, and Rockapella. Most of the music performed by The Limestones, are either written or arranged by members of the group.

The Limestones album "Rock Solid" was nominated for best male collegiate a cappella recording at the 2003 contemporary a cappella recording awards (CARA). Since then, the group has created a Christmas Album, “Stone By Stone” and is looking forward to releasing their newest album, "Fossilized."

“Stone By Stone” was recorded in early 2006 in Minneapolis, Minnesota by Luke Harper at The Terriarium and was Mixed and Mastered by The Blenders' Darren Rust at Skyland Productions. "Taken Up," the first track on "Stone By Stone" was selected for the Best Of College Acappella (BOCA) 2007 compilation disk. It was also nominated for best male collegiate a cappella song at the 2007 CARA awards.
