Allen Stone

I know there's quite a few fans of his around here. Only found one thread in DMBc.

Listening to the commentary on his latest album on Spotify. It's actually really awesome.

Any other fans? Anybody see him live (maybe at the Gorge)? I have yet to see him live, but he's near the top of my list.

For those who haven't heard him:

    I've seen him live, and he puts on an awesome show! It was actually my mom who introduced me to his music, and she wanted to go to the show.. She stalked the merch table and ended up meeting him. Super nice guy.

    Love this guy, glad to find someone else who does too. When I first heard him, I thought he was some black R&B singer (n/r)... you can imagine my surprise when I looked him up and saw perhaps the ugliest blond-haired white kid I'd ever seen.

    Great soulful voice mixed with a funky folk sound. Very cool.

    I've got both of his albums. Love each of them. There's really not one song on the most recent that I dislike. Everything is awesome. And I, too, was shocked upon looking up an image of him

    True, I was trying to think of songs to say I liked... then I realized I liked them all.

    I completely rest my case.

    I saw him at the Gorge and at the SoCal shows. I thought he was pretty good but he played the same set night in and night out. Mix it up a bit, me thinks.

    Well after reading this I of course looked an image up before listening to one of his songs. And I must say I was shocked to hear the voice I did.

    Re: Allen Stone

    he is so. fucking. good. very possibly my favorite musician in the game right now. his voice has that raw power that others try to emulate, their stage presence rivals that of almost any other rock group. lyrics can be a bit shallow, but still very evidently reflective in their own right. Love me some Allen Stone, highly recommend to anybody who hasn't seen them yet.

    two YT links to get you hooked
