Forming at Auburn University, The Stews ultimately decided to leave school to meet the
massive demand for their live shows and raw, high-energy rock music. The now-Atlanta-based
band since have graduated from the ‘college band’ label, selling out venues nationwide from
NYC’s Bowery Ballroom, to DC’s 9:30 Club and Wilmington's Greenfield Lake Amphitheater,
and bringing their electrifying stage presence to festival stages like Bonnaroo, Hangout,
Lollapalooza, Shaky Knees and more in only a couple of years.
Comprised of Preston Hall (Lead Vocals/Guitar), Blake Dobbs (Guitar), Bennett Baugus (Bass),
and Wyatt Griffith (Drums), The Stews burst onto the southeastern rock scene in 2021 with their
self titled EP, all while recording and releasing music in a frenzy. From that EP, single “Make It
Out” continues to make waves, eclipsing over 6 million streams on Spotify, earning radio play
nationwide, and being placed in Netflix’s hit show ‘Outer Banks.’
The southern four-piece’s debut album 'What Was' came out in April 2022, and 2024’s follow up
record 'Chicken Fight' has already taken them to new heights. A daring body of work that can’t
be confined to one genre, ‘Chicken Fight’ delivers as a single sit-through record, with its 11
songs touching on sonic palettes of The Allman Brothers, Audioslave, Pink Floyd, and Kings of
Leon, amongst others, yet still uniquely The Stews.
Since then, The Stews have been hard at work back in the kitchen, continuing to cook up new
recipes for high fidelity head-banging and heart-capturing music. Their first release from this
new batch of songs is “Used To” (releasing October 2nd, 2026 via No Coincidence Records), an
upbeat rock anthem about moving on and letting go. Produced alongside Will Turpin (Collective
Soul) at Real To Reel Studios in Atlanta, GA, “Used To” builds from a sparse, driving intro, and
erupts into a soaring earworm chorus alongside whole band vocals, showcasing the band’s
knack for infectious hooks and high-energy rock.
