Stony Plain Records was co-founded by Holger Petersen and Alvin Jahns 38 years ago. As Canada’s oldest independent blues label, Stony Plain has released over 350 records of both Canadian and American blues and roots artists such as Eric Bibb, Rory Block, Downchild, Ronnie Earl, Amos Garrett, Jeff Healey, MonkeyJunk, Maria Muldaur, Duke Robillard, Joe Louis Walker, and Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne. In addition, Stony Plain has released music by legends such as Long John Baldry, Rosco Gordon, Jay McShann, Jimmy Witherspoon, and Lowell Fulson. As a testament to the quality of its recordings, Stony Plain has had six Grammy nominations as well as many Blues Music Award nominations, with almost a dozen wins. This small, independent label, which emphasizes quality over quantity, provides its artists with a stable business environment. At the center of this consistency is the tone set by its dedicated founders.
