Things Of Stone and Wood

Things of Stone and Wood were an Australian folk-rock band formed in 1990 in Melbourne. They quickly became beloved for their warm, acoustic-driven sound and cleverly observant songwriting, which often carried a distinctly Australian character. The band is best known for their massive 1992 hit "Happy Birthday Helen," a bittersweet love song that topped the Australian charts and became an enduring anthem of the era. Their debut album, 'The Yearning,' solidified their popularity, earning them an ARIA Award for Best New Talent.

The group, centered around singer-songwriter Greg Arnold, released several albums throughout the 1990s, including 'Junk Theatre' and 'Whirligig,' known for their thoughtful lyrics and melodic craftsmanship. After disbanding in the late '90s, they have reunited for occasional tours, delighting fans who have a strong nostalgic affection for their heartfelt and intelligent brand of folk-pop.
