Rehearsal and Meet & Greet: Allen Stone

| |
Hi Huneybees,


I had the privilege to attend the rehearsal as well as meeting Allen Stone in person yesterday afternoon before his actual performance at the inaugural Singapore International Jazz Festival 2014, aka Sing Jazz 2014, that evening.

For those who don't know who Allen Stone is, according to Wikipedia:
Allen Stone is a soul musician from Chewelah, Washington. His website states that people describe him as a soul and R&B singer, yet he sees himself as a "hippie with soul.

Despite a scorching weather, out at Marina Bay Sand's outdoor Event Plaza,  my patience paid off when he and his band finally came on stage 1 hour after the original scheduled appointment!


It's my first time attending a concert rehearsal and its certainly interesting to witness the earnest side of him towards his music during the session when he and his band were making adjustment with the sound crew.

Finally came the moment of the meet & greet session with Allen Stone and I must say, from what I had gathered during the short but breath-taking instance, he really came across as a very friendly and unassuming person, who declined politely to be photographed alone but welcome every request to be photographed with us or with his brand.
