Stoned and Lonesome-A Celebration of The Rolling Stones- Early Years

Join Auburn Public Theater and Mark Doyle for a concert celebrating The Rolling Stones.

This concert runs approximately one hour and thirty minutes with an intermission.

Mark Doyle and The Maniacs with Todd Shuffler presents Stoned and Lonesome - A Celebration of The Rolling Stones - Early Years with Special Guests Joe Whiting, Pete McMahon and Michael P. Ryan.Fresh off of winning the SAMMY Award in 2026 for Best Blues CD, bassist Todd Shuffler recounts his inspiration for enlisting Mark Doyle to produce and provide his band, The Maniacs, for the recording of Stoned and Lonesome…“In 2009, Mark Doyle and The Maniacs released SHAKE ‘EM ON DOWN - A Salute to the 60s British Blues Boom. On the back cover was a note from Mark, “Special thanks to my wife Liz for pushing me for years to make a record like this.” My wife Kitty saw this and said, “You know, you really should do a Stones album.” “With a great band, great material and a great engineer in Jocko Randall, Mark and Todd enlisted former Maniacs alumni Pete McMahon and Michael P. Ryan to sing on the album, with spectacular results. All of these fine musicians and singers reunited again in early Spring 2026 to record a follow-up album, Stoned and Lonesome Again, with the added addition of Mark’s longtime partner from as far back as Free Will and Jukin’ Bone, the one and only Joe Whiting, who is simply electrifying on the new album.The Rolling Stones have been an inspiration for over 60 years. They introduced Black Blues and Rhythm ’n Blues to a whole new generation of young people. The emphasis on both of the Stoned and Lonesome… albums is to shine a light on the earlier, more obscure and bluesy repertoire that the band performed when they first burst on the scene, so the focus is on the years 1963-1966.The performance on Saturday, October 17, at Auburn Public Theater, will feature both albums in their entirety. Joining Mark, Todd, Joe, Pete and Michael will be longtime Maniacs Terry Quill on guitar and harmonica, Frank DeFonda on drums, and pianist extraordinaire Dave Liddy. The show will also serve as an Album Release Party for Stoned and Lonesome Again.
