Hailed as one of the most influential artists of his generation, two-time GRAMMY Award-winning jazz vocalist, composer and bandleader Gregory Porter appears in Aotearoa for the first time at the Wellington Jazz Festival.
Since his breakout album Liquid Spirit on Blue Note Records, which sold over a million copies and earned him his first GRAMMY Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2014, he’s captivated audiences worldwide with his soulful baritone vocals and dynamic storytelling.
Influenced by Bakersfield Southern Gospel and jazz legend Nat King Cole, Porter’s unique and timeless sound blends jazz, soul and gospel with a presence that commands attention from the very first note.
A defining voice in contemporary jazz, experience his 'liquid gold' vocals, warmth, and magnetic stage presence at St James Theatre, for one night only.
