Allen Stone to Bring Radius Tour to Fox Theatre, 11/25

Z2 Entertainment is proud to present Allen Stone: Radius Tour with Bernhoft at the Fox Theatre on Wednesday, November 25th, 2015. Tickets are on sale September 25th for $22 advanced or $25 day of show.

On his third full-length album, singer/songwriter Allen Stone proves himself deeply devoted to making uncompromisingly soulful music that transcends all pop convention. Stone's debut for Capitol Records, Radiusmarks the follow-up to the Chewelah, Washington-bred 28-year-old's self-released and self-titled sophomore effort, a 2011 album that climbed to the top 10 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and gained acclaim from renowned rock critic Ann Powers (whose NPR review hailed Allen Stone as "meant for those of us who like our R&B slightly unkempt and exceedingly feelingful"). Made in collaboration with Swedish soul singer/songwriter/phenom Magnus Tingsek, Stone's latest batch of songs capture the warm energy of that creative connection and transport the listener to a higher and more exalted plane.

Culled from several dozen songs penned through a year and a half of constant writing and refining, Radius bears a title that reflects both its scope and intimacy. "The radius is that line extending from the center of the circle to its exterior," says Stone, "and in a lot of ways this album is about getting out things deep inside-whether it's love or insecurity or joy or frustration about things going on today." 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, Radiuswholly reveals Stone's easy grace in blending everything from edgy soul-pop and earthy folk-rock to throwback R&B and Parliament-inspired funk.
