Stone Fox was a band from
Cincinnati, Ohio in the United States. The band was formed from a meeting between Rob Kistner, then 20 years old, and Jack Jeroe which took place in 1967 at the Mug Club in Cincinnati's
Clifton rock club area. Kistner had already been in the Cincinnati music scene for several years as a singer with Little Caesar & the Romans, and later the founder of the Tritides, who put out a couple records on the local scene. At the time this, as yet unnamed band was being discussed, Kistner had been one of the lead singers in the duo The Bothers Royal with Dave Oakley. They were a "
blue-eyed soul" duo in the
Righteous Brothers vein working at the Inner Circle since 1965 as part of
The Casinos Review.
