Item Description

Two Tickets for the Thursday, June 30, 2016 Allen Stone Concert (plus the Monophonics) at the SOMO Village Event Center in Rohnert Park, California. Value: $76.00.

Allen Stone on tour is a concert event worth talking about. With three albums and a Deluxe verison of the album Radius in release, soul artist Allen Stone proves himself deeply devoted to making uncompromisingly soulful music that transcends all pop convention. Made in collaboration with Swedish soul singer/songwriter/phenom Magnus Tingsek, Radius captures the warm energy of that creative connection and transports the listener to a higher and more exalted plane. 

Radius marks the follow-up to the Chewelah, Washington-bred 28-year-old's self-released and self-titled 2011 sophomore effort that climbed to the top 10 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. As the New York Times recently said Stone's lyrics "promise honest sentiments, grooves built with physical instruments and a gospel-rooted determination to uplift ... glimmers of Al Green, Bill Withers, Curtis Mayfield, George Clinton, Prince and a bit of Sting."

Along with immersing himself in a songwriting approach that involved unflinching examination of "some very dark and negative moments in my life," Stone shaped the sound and feel of Radius by pushing himself to "get past the boundaries of what I felt comfortable with, so that I could progress into a whole new level of creativity." Despite that sometimes-daunting process, Radius wholly reveals Stone's easy grace in blending everything from edgy soul-pop and earthy folk-rock to throwback R&B and Parliament-inspired funk.

Raised amid the rich musical culture and history of the San Francisco Bay Area, Monophonics proudly carry the torch through the generations into today's musical landscape. Holding on to tradition, but by no means purists of any kind, they play their own brand of music known as "Psychedelic Soul." Monophonics is Austin Bohlman (Drums), Myles O'Mahony (Bass/Background Vocals), Ian McDonald (Guitar/Background Vocals), Ryan Scott (Trumpet/Back- ground Vocals/Percussion) & Kelly Finnigan (Keys/Lead Vocals) along with a rotating 2nd horn usually filled by Nadav Nirenberg (Trombone) from Ikebe Shakedown and Breakdown.
