Allen Stone

Allen Stone, a powerhouse in the realm of soul/ R&B, has entranced audiences worldwide with his electrifying performances and soulful melodies. With a voice that effortlessly channels the raw emotion of classic soul legends, Stone's music transcends boundaries, weaving together elements of funk, gospel, folk-rock, and soul to create a sound uniquely his own. His captivating stage presence and heartfelt lyrics have earned him a dedicated following and critical acclaim.

Allen Stone's journey to musical stardom began in the quaint town of Chewelah, Washington, where his upbringing immersed him in the rich sounds of gospel music as the son of a pastor. After leaving college, Stone embarked on a relentless pursuit of his passion, relocating to Seattle and tirelessly touring the West Coast in his '87 Buick, performing at every opportunity that arose. His unwavering dedication paid off as he swiftly gained acclaim for his electrifying live shows, often playing up to 200 dates annually. Allen and his band have graced the stage alongside luminaries such as Stevie Wonder, Al Green, the Dave Matthews Band, Erykah Badu, and Gary Clark Jr, and has been captivating audiences with his voice and boundless energy, amassing a devoted fan base.

With a genre-blending style that seamlessly merges soul, folk-rock, R&B, and funk, Allen Stone has released five full-length albums, from his self-released debut, Last To Speak, to the acclaimed APART. Alongside his prolific touring schedule, Stone has graced national television screens, delivering memorable performances on shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Today Show, and even showcasing his charismatic personality as a guest on MTV's Ridiculousness. Notably, he's lent his expertise as a celebrity mentor on two seasons of ABC's American Idol, further cementing his status as a respected figure in the music industry. Hitting the road again this summer with Chris Stapleton, Allen Stone is currently back in the studio, eagerly crafting new music slated for release in 2024.
