I can’t believe I have never been to the MIM (Music Instrumental Museum) here in Phoenix. It was a most incredible venue. But let’s talk about Allen Stone!!! I happen to catch him on the Live From Daryl’s House show – tuned in and was instantly impressed. Well luck be it – the next thing I knew there he was scheduled at a venue I’ve always wanted to go to. So from there my love of his music and his stage presence has begun! I really cannot speak more highly about him. If you have ready my stories at all – I don’t think I’ve been to a bad concert (well maybe a few) but in general I simply just LOVE music. There are some artists that leave an extremely deep connection – and Allen is one that just leaves that kind of impression. I was lucky enough to have a few of my friends come with that really had very little exposure to him and left as impressed as I was. He’s one of those artists I would really love to meet. From the start of the concert – where he really impresses the fact that the live experience that cannot be duplicated and is special between him and us – really seemed to be a sincere comment. Not just by him saying it, but by the way he performed. It’s as if he felt part of ‘our’ evening, not just him singing to us!
It was probably the BEST R&B live performance I’ve been to… There is no doubt I will see him when possible again. I have since bought his newest album and it is really is a treat. He write his own songs (very heart felt) and can also do some cover music and really pay incredible homage to the memorable R&B singers from the past. Just so heartfelt – I have included a few photos as I usually do and a video of one of the songs – but if you want a real treat Youtube some of his songs music, songs, concerts, interviews. He also has a hilarious Uber snippet where is drives folks around – some that recognize and some that don’t… very funny! Anyway – you just gotta check him out – you will not be disappointed. His voice has such range it will just melt your heart – just jaw dropping for sure!
Enjoy!!!
