Downtown@Dusk: Robin Stone

By Lindsey Colegrove, Communications Intern

Come see Funk/Pop singer Robin Stone perform live at the Akron Art Museum Thursday from 6:30 – 8:30 pm as part of the museum’s popular Downtown@Dusk concert series.

The Cleveland native voted “Best Vocalist” at the Free Times Music Awards in 2009 almost wasn’t. After being diagnosed with a tumor on her vocal cord in 2008 and a rare auto immune disease in early 2009, Stone battled back to not only release a new record and a live album but start her own record label, She Loves You Records.

The acclaimed singer’s soulful lyrics are drawn from her personal hardships and over 10 years of experience performing. Sample her sound in her new video for “Bad Girl” below.
