Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
How does a British girl of average attractiveness (whose first single was a White Stripes cover, by the way) rise to international fame? For then-16-year-old Joss Stone, worshiping Aretha Franklin and belting out soulful dirges like a Whitney Houston/Mariah Carey love child may have had something to do with it. Sort of a hippie cousin to Amy Winehouse, Stone is surely one of the most successful Grammy-nominated singers to regularly perform sans footwear. You won’t want to miss the chance to hear Stone’s sultry vocals — and maybe even smell her feet — at Celebrity Theatre.
