SUMMARY:LIZZ WRIGHT
DESCRIPTION:Through an inimitable voice that The New York Times touts as\, “a smooth\, dark alto possessed of qualities you might associate with barrel-aged bourbon or butter-soft leather\,” renowned vocalist and songwriter Lizz Wright sings with a soaring reflection of the cultural fabric of America. She lies beneath the script of history\, transcending social divides with an offer of love and deep sense of humanity. Her music accepts the beauty of reality and creates a collective experience of belonging for the listener. Wright’s songs embody a tradition that allows us to always feel at home. \nWright’s 2024 studio album release\, Shadow\, presents Lizz in a gentle and triumphant light. With five originals penned by Wright\, Shadow is anchored by acoustic guitars and layered with string quartets\, harp\, Carnatic Indian classical strings\, gospel vocals\, and bare emotion. It celebrates the intimacy of romantic love\, loss\, community\, and healing. The album was produced by Chris Bruce and executive produced by Wright on Blues & Greens Records (with licensing/distribution through Lightyear Entertainment/Virgin Music). Wright worked with renowned engineer Ryan Freeland (who recorded Grace and has also worked with music legend Bonnie Raitt)\, and the album features acclaimed guest artists Angelique Kidjo and Meshell Ndegeocello. \nAt the age of 22\, Wright first made a name for herself nationally as a vocalist with a touring concert tribute to Billie Holiday. At 23\, she signed with Verve Records for the release of Salt\, which topped Billboard’s contemporary jazz charts. She went on to record for Universal Music Group and released the albums Dreaming Wide Awake (2005)\, The Orchard (2008)\, and Fellowship (2010). On Concord\, Wright released Freedom & Surrender (2016) – featuring the single “Lean In\,” which landed on President Obama’s Summer 2016 playlist – and Grace (2017). Wright’s (2022) release of Holding Space (a live recording of a concert in Berlin at the Columbia Theater) was her debut live album on Blues and Greens Records. \nWright looks forward to the release of a duo album in 2026. \nTickets: $43.21 ($35.00 + $8.21 fees) | $54.54 ($45.00 + $9.54 fees) \nDiscounted Parking: $18.80 ($15.00 + $3.80 fees) \n$20.00 Minimum Per Person

His latest recording\, Echoes and Other Songs (Mack Avenue/Artistry)\, features an All-star cast including\, Dennis Chambers\, Antonio Sanchez\, Christian McBride\, Richard Bona\, Chris Potter\, Bob Franceschini\, and Leni Stern. \nBorn in Boston on January 10\, 1953\, Stern grew up in Washington\, DC\, then returned to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music where he met and befriended fellow Berklee students like guitarists John Scofield and Bill Frisell\, bassist Jeff Berlin\, drummers Steve Smith and Vinnie Colaiuta. He got his first big break in 1976 going out on tour with Blood\, Sweat & Tears\, appearing on the group’s studio More Than Ever and live album In Concert that year and also on 1977’s Brand New Day. \nStern was presented with Guitar Player magazine’s Certified Legend Award on January 21\, 2012. \nMike Stern Band: Dennis Chambers~drums\, Gary Grainger~guitar\, Bob Franceschini~saxophone\, and Leni Stern~guitar\, vocal. \nTickets: $35.00 ~ $60.00 +$7.00 fee \nShowtimes: 7:00pm & 9:30pm
