Joss Stone

Ellipsis

Aug 10, 2024 - 7:00 PM Holland Performing Arts Center

Armed with a powerful voice and a compatible sound based in vintage soul, Joss Stone hit the mainstream as a teenager and has enjoyed an enduring career of unpredictable twists and turns. The British singer first earned a devoted audience at home and abroad with reinterpretations of classic soul songs, and has expanded it with her songwriting chops and ability to explore styles far afield of vintage R&B, her first love. The Soul Sessions (2003), Stone’s debut, sold over five million copies worldwide and led to greater acclaim with Mind, Body & Soul (2004), a chart-topping follow-up that garnered Grammy nominations in multiple categories including Best New Artist, and two BRIT Awards. Among Stone’s highlights since then are Introducing Joss Stone (2007), which narrowly missed the top of the U.S. album chart; the U.K. and U.S. Top Ten entry The Soul Sessions, Vol. 2 (2012); and Never Forget My Love (2022), one of two solo albums she has made with Dave Stewart. A keen collaborator, Stone has also enriched her output with associates such as Betty Wright, Raphael Saadiq, and Jonathan Shorten. A collaboration with John Legend and Van Hunt on a cover of Sly & the Family Stone’s “Family Affair” won Stone a Grammy, and another nomination resulted from her featured appearance on Jeff Beck’s version of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “I Put a Spell on You.”

Ticket Limit: There is a six (6) ticket limit for this performance.
