Allen Stone's summer keeps getting better. The newly-signed Capitol Recording artist is coming to KDAT's NewBo Music Festival and his trail to Cedar Rapids keeps getting hotter.

Stone's new CD Radius was released in late May and he has been on a tear on on the late night chat shows. First, this performance on Late Night with Seth Meyers went viral. Then,, late last week, Stone and his band jammed with Team Coco.

As he explains on his official site, Stone has expanded his sound and approach with the new record.  With this third disc, he wanted to push beyond the comfort zone and capture a new level of creativity. His band is fantastic and I am looking forward to seeing those backup singers belt it out in downtown Cedar Rapids. On August 8, Allen and his band will be joined on stage by Young the Giant. I talked to Sameer from Young The Giant, and he looks forward to meeting Mr. Stone. Sameer mentioned one of the guys in YTG was a big fan of Stone..

Lots of people are finding out about Allen and that very unique groove. Years from now, you'll be telling your kids you saw this guy in little 'ol Cedar Rapids. Buy your tickets now and get ready for the groove train!
