CORINNE BAILEY RAE

February 10 @ 7:00 pm ~February 11 @ 9:00 pm PST

$45 – $95

Two-time Grammy-winning vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist Corinne Bailey Rae is among the most celebrated artists in contemporary soul and R&B. Named the number-one predicted breakout star by the BBC’s critics poll following the release of her #1 charting debut album in 2006, the Leeds-born Bailey Rae has racked up six GRAMMY nominations, an NAACP Image Award, and innumerable other honors over her career.

She appears on the Miner stage for two nights, bringing an immersive multimedia experience featuring music from her new multidisciplinary project, Black Rainbows.

After three superlative releases and collaboration with the likes of Al Green, Mary J. Blige, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, RZA, Herbie Hancock, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Bailey Rae presents her boldest and most audacious statement yet.

Black Rainbows was inspired by the artworks collected by artist, educator, and social innovator Theaster Gates at the Stony Island Arts Bank — a historic bank building on the South Side of Chicago comprising a curated collection of books, sculpture, records, furniture, and problematic objects from America’s past.

From the rock hewn churches of Ethiopia to the journeys of Black Pioneers Westward, Black Rainbows explores Black femininity, Inner Space and Outer Space, time collapse, ancestors, the erasure of Black childhood, and music as a vessel for transcendence.
