Allen Stone
Introducing Allen Stone…
From backwoods barbecues and community gatherings; Allen Stone emerges to share personal
melodies, telling his tales of life after just 23 years. Getting his start singing at his father's church
in small-town America; it wasn't until later when introduced to the greats of soul music (Marvin
Gaye, Aretha Franklin) and then to the confessional lyrical fashion of the 60's -70's singer/
songwriters, did music begin to ignite intense passion, eventually carrying this boy to a musical
home.
His debut album "Last To Speak" touches upon a range of styles and themes. Integrating classic
soul, catchy pop hooks, r&b beats and folk roots with lyrical matters of testimonial broken
relationships, poisonous politics and an intimate challenge to religion. Stone's music is notable
for his finely crafted evocative songs and a fresh, smooth, soul-filled voice-one that certainly
belies his age.
On his yet-to-be released self-titled second album, Allen has pushed his sound and lyricism to a
greater level of noted individuality. Produced by Lior Goldenberg in Los Angeles, CA (Sheryl
Crow, Alanis Morissette, Macy Gray, Ziggy Marley) and backed by Raphael Shaadiq's rhythm
section with the Tower of Power, Allen Stone is set to embark on an array of bigger stages in
2011. Now partnered with MBK Entertainment based in New York, NY, Allen's first stop will be
on stage at the ASCAP Music Lounge at The Sundance Film Festival in late January.
In a generation of over saturation, it's Allen Stone's strong musical talents and honest messages
of progression that shall keep this blue-eyed soul continuing to create what only comes best
naturally.
