With a name right out of “This is Spinal Tap,” you might expect local band Stonehenge to have amplifiers that go to 11, styrofoam stage sets being crushed by little people and band members lost backstage shouting, “hello Cleveland!”

But you’d be wrong.

When he named the band, lead singer Billy Arnett had never even seen “Spinal Tap.”

“The band I came into that kind of got this whole thing started was called Blue Diamond,” he said. “When they asked me to join, I told them I’d like a name change if possible. They were all cool and said yes.”

Arnett had been reading about the Stonehenge monuments that day, so when they asked him what the name should be, he threw that name out.

“It was just off the cuff,” he said. “But they were all like, ‘cool.’”

Arnett, of Wagoner, sings and plays rhythm and acoustic guitar while Muskogee’s Gene Longcrier plays bass guitar and sings harmony vocals, Wagoner’s Chad Arbuckle plays drums and Fort Gibson’s Jerry Owens plays lead guitar.

“I’ve been playing music for 25 years,” Longcrier said, “and Jerry is one of the most well-rounded and versatile guitarists I’ve ever played with.”

Oh, and did he mention that Owens can whip out guitar solos that leave jaws agape?

Arnett agrees. “I’ve played with some good pickers, but it’s like Jerry was born with a guitar in his hands.”

Watching the band play at Max’s Garage last week, when Owens broke into the extended solo from Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird,” heads from one side of the club to the other craned around to see who was ripping out such powerful licks.

The fact that, toward the end of the show, most people in the club still didn’t know who was on guitar is likely attributable to Owens’ humility.

“Jeez,” Arnett said. “He’s one of the most humble guys I’ve ever met.”

As if having an insanely great guitar player wasn’t enough of an attraction for the band, Arnett looks like he may have just left a mixed martial arts cage, picked up a guitar and got on stage.

“When you’re as big as that guy and have a bald head and can sing like him,” said Rich May, who saw the band, “you’re going to stand out.”
