Joss Stone: Less is More
Grammy Award Winning Singer Joss Stone brings her Less is More tour to MPAC in an intimate, soulful performance. Known for hits such as “Super Duper Love” and “You Had Me,” Stone’s new tour features a raw and emotional setlist, highlighting her rich voice and heartfelt storytelling. For the Less Is More tour, Stone performs with a pared-down ensemble, featuring her powerful vocals complemented by a bassist. This tour was inspired by the simplicity and beauty of her earlier performances with minimal instrumentation and allows for an incredibly personal connection with the audience, focusing on the melodic passion in her music.
