Joss Stone has been obsessed with soul music since she was a little girl. By the time she was in her early teens she had begun to intuitively hone her now trademark gravely-but-lustrous vocals by singing along to Aretha’s Franklin’s Greatest Hits. She began pursuing a singing career at thirteen, securing a record deal at 15, and recording her star-making debut album, The Soul Sessions, which was released in 2003.
Ten years on from those stunning sessions, Joss has decided to bring things full circle and revisit where it all began – with her follow up to that multi million-selling debut, The Soul Sessions Vol 2, a stunning exercise in vocal poise, passion and power, showcasing some great songs and an artist at the peak of her vocal powers.
Following her critically acclaimed arrival on the music scene (which preceded the plethora of soul-inspired female artists that came along in her wake) things took off for Joss in an enormous way. Her second record, 2004′s Mind Body & Soul capitalized on ‘The Soul Sessions’ commercial momentum and critical adoration and earned Stone three Grammy nominations, including one for Best New Artist.
It also spawned a self-penned UK Top 10 single, “You Had Me”, and earned her two Brit Awards that same year. Her third album, 2007′s Introducing Joss Stone, was a more independent, less packaged effort, on which Joss further showcased her songwriting abilities, and revealed the singer had truly been embraced by the American audience when it debuted on the Billboard Top 100 at No.2, marking the highest debut ever for a female British solo artist. With over 11 million album sales to date and a wealth of experience under her belt, 2012 seemed like the right time to return to the Soul Sessions model from a new perspective.

Having followed Joss Stone since she came on the scene, I am awfully excited that she’s in the area! Her voice is mesmerizing and seeing Joss live would be a surreal experience…
It would awesome to watch Joss performs live. Her voice is amazing and always brings me to tears.
Such a beautiful voice and spirit. I would love to see her live.

It’s my fiancés birthday and this would be a great gift…:)

been a Joss fan since first listening to ‘introducing joss stone’. She ROCKS every song she records: i would love to see her in concert! i would gladly buy tickets to see her if i had the funds. living off credit cards post break-up with ex. he Sucks, SHE ROCKS and i would really appreciate the opportunity to get out of the house and Groove It with a deeply soulful experience!
Joss Stone is the bomb! I would love to win these tickets and get see her perform live is a great little venue.
My mom and I have loved her since I was a baby– we’ve never seen her live, but it’s her 45th birthday and I would love to surprise her!

I’d LOVE to see Joss Stone in concert. She has an amazing voice. What a great gig!!!!
I would love the chance to relax and enjoy some great music.
I want to go close my eyes and sway to Joss’ sultry voice!
my haiku:
Joss Stone in da howz
sings like a bird, beauty
pipeline sends me there
Because my girlfriend would love me forever!
Would love to get a chance to see Joss Stone. Hope to get picked.
We are visiting from Hawaii and want to experience the weirdness that is Portland
I first heard Ms. Stone on Raphael Saadiq’s album. I would love to see this fabulous woman live!
Love Joss’s is soulful music!!!
ME!!!!!!!!!!!
Wrapping up the week from hell, this would be a much needed relief.
What a voice, what a talent…and for someone so young no less! Would love to hear her live!
I would love to go!
my ass just got dumped and i bet there is going to be mad single chicks at this thing so i’m trying to meet them :)
I went to visit her home town, Dover, Kent, UK back in 2007 – now she is in “MY” hometown to visit “ME” – lol
Would love to make this concert – we’ve both come full circle -
Awesome!!!
Fridays were made for Stones, at least I hope so.
Umm…because I would cream my pants if I won tickets to she her!
would LOVE to win me some tickets and get the weekend going strong!
Pick me! It would be a great early birthday present!
Wow- so rad you are giving away tix to this show- yay! [fingers crossed]
My best friend is a bartender and they have an old school CD player jukebox- we loaded it with Joss Stone and play it constantly, even the grumpy 80 year old regulars during the day have started to like her! I would love to take my friend and go see her live!!
No plans for a Friday night yet, this would definitely solve that!
What a shame it would be to have Joss a stone’s throw from me, without the ability to hear her soulful voice.
Oh, please oh please! I could really use the feminine healing soulfulness of Joss right now. She moves me like no other currently and I would be ever so grateful!! :) There’s a first time for everything right–winning for me!
Joss Stone and Vintage trouble in the Crystal Ballroom. The place may never be the same!
My introduction to Joss (and the last time I saw her live) was at Voodoo Fest 2008 and I’ve been under her spell ever since. So, oh, please, stick a pin in my heart!
What an awesome show this will be! I hope whoever goes appreciates her originality and beautiful presence!
She’s beautiful.
Joss Stone is coming to Portland!!! How did I not know about this sooner?! I would LOVE to go see her. I need some deep, sweet soul music in my life! Sadly, can’t afford ticket price. Winning would make my month!
Sweet Soul Sister!!!!
seriously?? hell yes!
Music now has lost its soul , joss stone keeps it real and captivates you with her voice and style enjoying her soul through song. Ive never had the opportunity to see her live, and unlike other artists im sure her voice is naturally beautiful in person without all the technology that makes artists popular now. I would love to attend this event to have a wonderful evening out with my partner, especially because we just started our jobs and most of our nights are spent at home. This performance would recharge all those good vibes ! Hope you pick me :) Thanks !
My daughter and I would love to see her.
I’m free tomorrow night
I’d like to see if I can get there early enough to get my ol’self a seat in the balcony, front row, so that I can partake of some sweet soul music, in my old age. I’ll tell the truth, I’m happily 64 and 3/4.
I am a big fan!!!
Sept 28th is my birthday. With three kids, my husband and I dont have alot of money to do something really fun, so this would be great! Our kids are already going to grandmas so we are completely available! Please please please!!!!!
I would love to win tickets for my husband and me. I introduced him to Joss’s music and he had my CDs in his car for months. We got married on August 11th! It’d be nice to win something since we haven’t taken a honeymoon. xo
Wow this would be amazing, I was just brought out an old CD of her’s last week.. DIdn’t know she was in town but would love to see her!!!
She is amazing – I’d love to hear that voice in person.
Please please please
My husband and I don’t have much money that is extra, tomorrow is my birthday and we already have a babysitter for our three kids! He’s a sheriff and I’m a gm of a local brewery/restaurant… We need a night out of great music and fun!
I would love to go!!!!
Oh Please, Please pick me – love her! I would be so thrilled, I’d have to post about it everywhere!! :-)
I would love to win tickets!
Wow – Joss Stone! I am so enamored with her. I gave up a lover in 2009 when he stated “Joss Stone doesn’t keep my penis hard”. He so had to go!
I LOVE JOSS. I’ve play her songs every where I go. She is amazing. Would love to go see her. Love love love…
I want kiss stone tickets!!
Love her. I can’t think of a better way to welcome the weekend than to enjoy her sultry music!
I’d love to win the tickets because every time I listen to Joss Stone makes me think of my friends back in Connecticut. I’ve lived here a month already, and I think they’re still upset with me for moving. Winning these tickets might make it all make sense for them… And it’d be a nice “welcome to your REAL home” gift for me! ;)
OK. I’m putting it all on the line for these tickets. I LOVE good music and Joss Stone’s vibe is definitely up there with good music. I’ve been entering to win something for months and still waiting!! I NEED a night out!! MUSIC would def be the best price right about now in my pre-divorce life!
I meant …best GIFT right about now
I’m dying to be picked!! I need to see Joss so please oh please make my day!!! xoxo
I love Joss …. her voice transports me to another place … I’d love to see her tonight …. it’d be even cooler if I could get a photo with her!! :)
Pick me pick me…. Love Joss Stone!
I would absolutely love to see Joss Stone!! Today is my birthday, so this would be so amazing!!
I would LOVE to go! I have 6 kids and need a night out with my hubby!
Give me tickets, even tho i can’t think of a song she sings
This would be perfect to be able to take my girlfriend to for her first day without kids in a long time. Plus I love to watch singer/songwriters who perform barefoot.
I BELIEVE IT TO MY SOUL that I’ll finally be chosen:)
PICK MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Wahoooooza!
Her music and voice is amazing, she is so talented, lots of big name old school musicians have worked with her, they see it too.
