Joe D'Urso And Stone Caravan
Artist

Stone Caravan has come a long way since founding members D'Urso, Dan Albanese, Rich Sica and Bob Place got together in the summer of 1989 in a cramped bedroom in Long Island City, NY. The band was originally named "Three Chords & The Truth," but after six months was renamed "Stone Caravan," and then renamed "Joe D'Urso & Stone Caravan" upon releasing their third record in 1993, "Rock-Land". D'Urso, a Rockland County native, formed the "Rockland-Bergen Music Festival" to bring world class-music to the county in 2014.

D'Urso remains true to an ideal inspired by the late Harry Chapin: that it is essential to help the less fortunate. He currently sits on the board of directors for a number of charity organizations including The Light of Day Foundation, which raises awareness and funds for Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases, WhyHunger, and, as a founding member, Artists Against Hunger and Poverty. In his home area of Rockland and Bergen counties (NY/NJ), Joe is a member of the Dan Sullivan Foundation, which raises money for college scholarships and folks who have experienced medical hardships and is a frequent fundraiser for People to People Food Bank, Rockland's largest food bank feeding many of the country's hungry.
