Stone has been touring the world for two years, sharing his blue-eyed, greasy soul with the masses. But if we’ve learned anything about the Chewelah-born, Seattle-bred crooner, it’s that he doesn’t stray too far from home for long. After wrapping two weekends at Coachella, these “prom”-themed shows in Seattle are sure to bring the party; they’ll also serve as the official lineup-announcement party for Bumbershoot (which means Stone will be playing the Labor Day weekend festival, no?).
In addition to lots of retro prom looks (sequins, shoulder pads, baby-blue suits), expect a number of Stone standards, baby-making Marvin Gaye covers, and lots of sweaty soul. Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave., 441-4618. 8 p.m. SOLD OUT. All ages/bar with ID.
