Allen Stone

A self-proclaimed “hippie with soul,” Allen Stone is a singer-songwriter whose sound falls somewhere in between St. Paul and The Broken Bones and Raphael Saadiq. His attitude is self-aware and his music is about his life, not the lives of others. His new album, which the Chewelah, Washington, native will perform in a special concert on the Gonzaga campus, extends from commentary on the consequences of white privilege to the more groovy party songs we’re used to from the genre. He’s a fantastic live performer, always keeping the crowd involved and upbeat.
