Sacred Stone is a rock band with a difference!

The band was founded in 1997 by Adrian Blenkinsop, with a structure that enables band members to change every 1-2 years. Since the band began there has been around 25 different members of Sacred Stone – in 6 different line-ups. It’s a pretty unique way for a band to operate, and it means that the style, sound and look of the band is constantly changing! It also gives different young Christian musicians the opportunity to be a part of this unique ministry.

The early years

In May of 1998 Sacred Stone played its first live gig to over 300 people at the launch of their debut CD titled ‘Fall’.

The band won the ‘Best Unsigned Band’ on the National Austereo Radio Network in 1998, and also performed live on the Adelaide television program ‘AM Adelaide’. (Channel 7 Adelaide)

Throughout 1998 and 1999 the band spent over 4 months touring throughout South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria. As well as this touring they performed regularly in Adelaide. This schedule saw them perform to over 30,000 people a year. Through their life-skills Christian seminars they ran programs in over 40 high schools on themes ranging from peer pressure, relationships, choices and self image.
