Another Stone!? No relation to Angus, Julia, Angie or Jos... Is a pale, long-haired American with big glasses and, most importantly: a 'pitch perfect powerhouse' soul performer. Or, as he himself apparently proclaims: a 'hippie with soul'.

After the likes of an extremely enthusiastic Beursschouwburg and Handelsbeurs, now finally appearing in the ABClub. For those who also enjoy Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, Bill Withers (and, OK, fans of Simply Red, Robert Palmer or Jamiroquai are also welcome.)

'Socially aware soul music' is the label here. Intense and extroverted. And, amazingly, our Allen Stone learned his craft from his father, in church. However it was only later, when he became familiar with the relevant exciting soul of the sixties and seventies, that he discovered his true calling: mature and mesmerising singing.

His 2 CDs (to date) were initially 'self released'. You’ll be coming to do that too in the ABClub, won’t you: 'let yourself go!'

Support act will be none less than the fabulous Delvis. Now Artist In Residence in the AB, but certainly also known from the entourage of Selah Sue. She also toured the US recently with Allen Stone. But most importantly: we consider the combination Delvis - Allen Stone to be one of improbably soulful beauty.
