ALLEN STONE KICKS OFF FALL HEADLINE TOUR
TONIGHT AT WORLD CAFÉ LIVE IN PHILADELPHIA
Run Includes Sept. 25 & 26 Shows At NYC’s Highline Ballroom
Allen Stone launches an extensive North American headline tour tonight with a show at
Philadelphia’s World Cafe Live. He will play Highline Ballroom in New York City this Tuesday
and Wednesday, September 25 and 26. Through a partnership with The Keep A Breast
Foundation™ (http://keep-a-breast.org), fifty cents from every ticket sold on the tour (including
pre-sales and ticket bundles) will go directly to the organization. Stone will kick off a European
tour with Tingsek on November 21 in London. He will return to the States for a hometown show
at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, WA on December 7. See below for itinerary.
The 25-year-old soul singer from Chewelah, WA recently won mtvU's Fall 2012
"Freshman 5" competition, which asked viewers to vote on five up-and-coming artists primed to
jump from campus favorites to household names. Fans can see Allen performing his latest single,
“Sleep,” on “Late Show with David Letterman” at:

Stone released his self-titled album digitally via his own stickystones label last fall and it
quickly entered the Top 10 of Billboard’s Heatseekers chart and the Top 5 of iTunes’ R&B/Soul
charts. Performances on “Conan,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “Last Call with Carson Daly” and
“Live from Daryl’s House” followed and Esquire, CNN and Billboard named Stone as an artist
to watch – all before he had signed with a label. ATO Records gave the album its wide release in
July 2012.
“With his tangle of blond locks and lumberjack sweater, he looks less like a soul singer
and more like someone you’d find selling hemp necklaces in Big Sur. But soon hundreds of
slack-jawed hipsters have sheathed their smartphones to listen as he belts out the words to his
song ‘Unaware,’” said Forbes.com. The New York Times’ Jon Pareles noted: “his music reached
back four decades to the late 1960s and early ’70s, when songwriters like Stevie Wonder, Marvin
Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Bill Withers brought introspection and social commentary to soul
music.” “Stone's beautiful music has universal appeal,” said the Chicago Tribune while the LA
Weekly declared: “he's the real deal.”
