About this Event
The Atlanta Jazz Festival is excited to present a Late-Night Concert with vocalist and songwriter Lauren Henderson. The event will take place on Saturday, May 25th at 10 pm at Park Tavern, 500 10th Street NE, Atlanta, GA 30309.
Henderson uncovers the layers of her diverse background in English and Spanish. Her compositions paint stories reflecting journeys imposed through the African Diaspora in connection to her Panamanian, Montserratian, and Caribbean roots as they interplay with her North American upbringing. Her music infuses flavors of Jazz, Latin Jazz, Flamenco, R&B and Soul.
Described as "somewhere between a comforting whisper and a cogent declaration" by The New York Times, Henderson paints reflective and impassioned stories with her haunting voice and enchanting compositions.
Henderson’s original music was featured in the movies El Juego de Las Llaves (2022) and The Drowning (2016), and in the Broadway production of Romeo y Julieta (2021).
Embarking on her 10th world tour, Henderson has performed in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Poland, Norway, Russia, Mexico, and South Africa, living up to her growing reputation as a "vibrant new star singer" - Downbeat Magazine.
Henderson combines her passion for music, philanthropy, and business as the CEO of Brontosaurus Records.
