Allen Stone

Allen Stone is the second performer on the 1st March.

Like many soul singers, Stone got his start in church. He was a preacher's kid, so whipping crowds into a call-and-response frenzy as he performs "Say So" is second nature. Steeped in gospel music and shielded from secular songs, Allen didn't discover soul music until he was a teenager and started collecting classic albums from the 60's and 70's.

"Soul music from that time wasn't just about bumpin' and grindin' at the club—it was a huge part of a cultural movement. That's where my inspiration comes from," says Stone, who was also schooled by folk records of the period.

Sing Jazz aspires to establish itself as a premier international live jazz- inspired music festival and a permanent feature on the cultural landscape of Singapore; bringing together world-class artists at an iconic venue in this vibrant city to harness the creative energy that is the essence of jazz…..and indeed of Singapore itself.

Please note that to see Allen Stone you will need to purchase a ticket for the whole evening's shows.
