Allen Stone may not be a household name yet but just give it a little time. This Seattle R&B performer is heading out on tour soon but not before he headlines City Arts Festival show and performs on Conan O'Brien.

Help a Washington Institution Secure a Much-Deserved Moment of Glory on Conan O'Brien's New Show
Conan O'Brien has a new late night show. Of course, you already knew that. It's called Conan and it's premiering in about two weeks. All things that you probably also knew. But did you know that he is asking fans to vote for the new show's first guest? A Washington resident is one of the twelve very carefully vetted potential interviewees, and in our mind particularly deserving of your vote.
Seattle's with Coco
Totally exciting news: Conan O'Brien is going on tour. He's bringing his Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour Seattle to Seattle. The tour's includes music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence -- all the elements that made Late Night with Conan O'Brien a consistent joy. He'll be at the Marion Oliver McCaw Hall in Seattle Center on April 18.
It was a real bummer to see the comic genius of Conan get bumped off the air by Jay Leno's meaty, unfunny fist. But if it means we'll get to see him perform live, well, we guess we can live with it.
