Charismatic soul man Allen Stone wrapped up a three-night stand at the Troubadour on Wednesday night in exuberant fashion. The set included a handful of songs from the Washington state native’s latest album “Radius,” including “Fake Future,” “Freezer Burn,” Where You’re Out,” “The Wire” and “Upside.” He dedicated “Naturally” to “all the beautiful women in the room,” adding, “All women are beautiful.”

And Stone welcomed a host of guests to the jubilant proceedings, including a horn section featuring Kamasi Washington, singer Jessica Childress (the opening act) for the cover of Gotye’s “Somebody That I used to Know” and Theo Katzman and Joey Dosik from Vulpeck — with Katzman leading the crowd’s sing-along to “Back Pocket.”

Childress opened the show with a set of her full-throated finery. “Got a new single comin’ out, and you can get it here tonight!” she said in introducing the new song “Far Away.”
