“Their supremely soulful performance felt like a Grammy moment.” – Yahoo

One of the most gorgeous moments of the night was the pairing of Dennis Lorenzo and Allen Stone… their duet of “Unaware” was worthy of an awards show… That was spectacular, said [Lionel] Richie.

New York, NY (April 10, 2018) – Washington state R&B/Soul singer-songwriter Allen Stoneappeared on last night’s episode of ‘American Idol’ as a guest coach performing his hit “Unaware” with contestant Dennis Lorenzo [watch it here].  Stone will return for next Monday’s episode, this time performing the Marvin Gaye classic, “What’s Going On”, with contestant Marcio Donaldson.  In conjunction Stone released a new song, Brown Eyed Lover, via ATO Records, kicking off a massive, special collaborative spring tour with Andrew McMahon, Zach Clark and Bob Oxblood tonight in Kansas City, and announcing a fall headlining tour (all confirmed dates below).  A fan pre-sale goes live tomorrow with tickets open to all this Friday, April 13.

About the single, Allen stated, 
I am a slave to the road, constantly in a different city, always on the other side of town, never in the same bed for more than a night. It seemed as though I chose a lifestyle that wasn’t lending itself to be shared with a partner. That was until I met my soon to be wife. “Brown Eyed Lover” depicts the internal struggle of being in a relationship while also being on the road – the struggle of having to leave constantly for my career but wanting my relationship to move forward. I don’t want to keep her waiting.

Allen has spent the past few months in the studio working on new material.  “Brown Eyed Lover” is a first taste of the new material, some of which will be destined for a new full-length record later in 2018.  Today’s announcement of fall headlining dates looks forward to that new music with anticipation.


This spring’s “Pen and Piano Tour” with McMahon, Cark, Oxblood and Stone will feature the musicians sharing the stage throughout the night.  Equal parts VH1 ‘Storytellers’ and ‘Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood’, each artist will perform a mix of their own music, as well as collaborating together, while sharing stories with the audience in an intimate “living room” atmosphere.
