Why see Allen Stone?
Son of a preacher man with vocal chops!
Allen Stone was raised on Gospel and cut his teeth singing in church when he was a youngster, leading the congregation in song with an emotive voice and his trusty acoustic guitar. With the discovery of classic Soul music in his teens, Stone began his transformation into the sensational singer-songwriter he is today. His folksy, bluesy brand of neo-soul combines a vintage aesthetic with an astounding vocal technique.
Catch this hugely talented singer as he heads out on a tour of North America. Regardless of where he performs, each show is a throwback to the heyday of a bygone era with Stone channelling the likes of Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. His voice is simply peerless today, with an unparalleled musicality reflected in the lilt, syncopations and embellishments of his voice. He's unafraid to groove and be moved by his music, allowing his audiences to join in and get lost in each sweet, stirring moment.
