ALLEN STONE Shares Powerful “Look Outside” Video Filmed During Quarantine in New York, Los Angeles & Seattle Featuring an ER Doctor & Her Family Dedicated to COVID-19 Frontline Workers

Today Stone releases an empathetic new video for the track, filmed during the current period of self-quarantine. The clip juxtaposes footage of the empty cityscapes of New York City, Los Angeles, and Seattle with scenes of families and friends - and Stone and his bandmates - connecting over FaceTime. Grace Jones, a doctor at Missouri Baptist Hospital in St. Louis, appears in a scene recorded in between shifts at the ER, and the video is dedicated to her and all other frontline workers fighting COVID-19. “I wrote this song quite a while back about my own personal journey towards happiness and spiritual health,” says Stone. “When the pandemic came the song seemed to take on a new meaning. The video for ‘Look Outside’ that Nate Townsend, Offbeat productions and myself put together in quarantine tells a very real story of what humanity is currently facing.”

Allen Stone recently thrilled hometown fans by remotely duetting with Seattle Seahawks tight end Jacob Hollister on “Look Outside.” Watch that performance HERE.  Stone is staying connected with fans during quarantine via Live At The Lodge, a weekly livestream performance on all platforms - Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch - at 3pm PDT every Saturday.  Building Balance, Stone’s third album, was recorded with the acclaimed British artist/producer Jaime Lidell, Grammy-winning producer Nasri, and Jeremy Most (Emily King). A textured amalgam of R&B and soul, it features collaborations with Emily King, Mike Posner, and Theo Katzman / Joey Dosik of Vulfpeck. He celebrated the record’s release with a sold-out Karaoke Extravaganza Tour, in which he performed at intimate venues and then invited fans to join him on stage to sing karaoke classics. Stone gave charismatic high-profile performances on the TODAY Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and most recently, a Tiny Desk Concert for NPR Music, who raved, “The Washington state native has a voice that we simply don't come across often… He's been releasing music for more than a decade and touring the world, but last year's Building Balance is his best yet.” allenstone.com | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
