Kornastone are a Wolverhampton/Shropshire-based band creating distinctive, cross-genre original music built on over four decades of songwriting, friendship and musical collaboration.

Founded by singer-songwriters Dave Lawrence and James "Jamie" Davey, the pair began writing together after leaving school in the late 1970s. Their early songs attracted interest from EMI Records, and although life took them in different directions, they continued writing and performing together for more than 30 years.

In 2018, recordings with acclaimed producer Gavin Monaghan marked the beginning of a new chapter. Their tracks Taxi Rank and Beautiful Day were both named BBC Introducing Shropshire's Records of the Week, while their debut album Oh My Days and subsequent EP releases Beuatiful Day and Spin Me the World received widespread support from BBC Introducing and independent radio stations across the UK.

Following a period away from the live scene, Kornastone have returned with renewed energy, a wealth of new material and a refreshed line-up featuring Stuart Ward, Rick Benton (Magnum) and Sharon Benton alongside founders Dave and Jamie.

Now back in the studio recording their forthcoming album Breathe, Kornastone continue to blend heartfelt songwriting, memorable melodies and accomplished musicianship into a sound that is uniquely their own. With fresh momentum and exciting new music on the horizon, the band are firmly looking to the future while remaining true to the songwriting partnership that started it all.
