SHOWDOWN: Live music in Philly from May 7-13

POSTED: Monday, May 7, 2012, 1:00 PM

Filed Under: Music The Showdown

Every Monday, James Friel rounds up the week's sure-bet live shows that we don't cover in the paper.

Monday: On the outside Allen Stone looks like a pale, nerdy white kid who spends his days writing software or working in a lab, but what lies beneath is a solo artist ready for Soul Train. It’s almost unbelievable to see Stone sing his acoustic-soul tracks. His voice has the range, feel and gut-wrenching pain you hear from blues and Motown greats. 8 p.m., $15-$18, World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., 215-222-1400.
