Stereopool is a 3 Piece Band from central Maryland. They are an all original band with a very appealing sound and presence. After being courted by a small indie label for nearly a year with no results, they decided to record their debut on their own- DIY. The record was release June 17, 2005 to a lot of happy fans. With guest appearance from Annapolis' own Bryan Ewald (Pat Dinizio, Warren Zanes, Jarflys) Stereopool has found a very unique yet full sound.
Their songwriting style is eclectic spanning many genre's but rarely sticking to one in particular. Vocal harmonies and lyrical expressions are favored over guitar solos and horn sections and djembe/percussions are more the rule than exception. All in all, they have a solid (if not sometimes quirky) mix of songs delivered with heart.
Stereopool has shared the stage with a host of local and national talented most notably NRBQ.

Stereopool - "Freedom Finds You" - Incredible! That is the first word that popped into my head after listening to the debut album "Freedom Finds You" by Maryland's own, Stereopool. The trio, consisting of Bob Sima, Chris Ritch and Gary Shenk has put out a successful release on their own with no label backing, a very impressive first leap for this newly up and coming band. The sound is all over the place bouncing from pure Americana pop to a folk-rocking sound. It's like attending a party with Dave Matthews and Del Amitri as the hosts with Ryan Adams, Jack Johnson and Ben Harper stopping by for a jam fest. Excellent musical choice for anyone of any age, Stereopool is impressive, pure and simple. Sure to cause feelings of wanderlust and joy, "Freedom Finds You" contains lyrics and melodies that are sure to keep you singing and dancing, long after the record ends. This is exactly what you have been looking for. A new band, a new sound and a new release you have been hoping for all wrapped up into one incredible CD. A four-star recommendation from CoffeeHouseTour!

"It's hard to pick a favorite song from Stereopool's new cd 'Freedom Finds You,' there are so many unique and compelling songs. That doesn't always happen we get new artists' cds in the station, and we love that it's on an independent label to boot! Our listeners will be hearing a lot from this album."

One of a kind and undefinable.

Someone gave me this CD prior to a 4 hour red eye drive. I had the impression that these guys were a coffee house band, and I was afraid this would put me to sleep. My fear was baseless. I was hooked from track one. This is what happens when talented musicians do their own thing and not try to copy someone else.

Not your average acoustic band..
author: Kyrby Raine
Stereopool belong to the increasing trend of acoustic-based jam bands, acts that seem to be sprouting every day thanks to the mammoth success of the Dave Matthews Band. What many of them do not realize is that it takes quite a bit of talent, and I'm not just talking about musical skills, to pull off that hybrid of folk and funk. A number of these groups are completely bland, dull as white bread. Thankfully, Stereopool does not torture us with mediocrity.
Where Stereopool cross the finish line while number of their peers collapse after a few miles is through the lyrics. These guys are smarter than much of their competition, having college-bred smarts that distance themselves from their peers. For all of their catchy hooks and energetic live performances, I believe that is why people were attracted to Dave Matthews in the first place.
No, Stereopool are not self-consciously trying to ape Matthews, but the resemblance is there, and it is undeniable, especially in Bob Sima's vocal work.

A great CD, perfect driving music
author: Lauri Lee
My husband and I really like the Stereopool CD, and we've listened to it in the car several times already. I would compare it favorably with David Gray or even Jack Johnson. It should be getting a lot of airplay on alternative and independent stations.
