Gregory Porter

Join us for an extraordinary evening with Gregory Porter, the two-time GRAMMY®-winning vocalist whose rich baritone and masterful artistry have established him as one of the most important jazz voices of his generation. Porter takes the stage at NJPAC’s Prudential Hall on June 29, bringing his signature blend of jazz, soul, and gospel that has captivated audiences worldwide. From his humble beginnings singing in San Diego jazz clubs to selling over a million albums globally, Porter’s musical journey is as inspiring as his performances. His breakthrough album Liquid Spirit earned him his first GRAMMY® Award, with NPR declaring him “America’s Next Great Jazz Singer.” His follow-up Take Me To The Alley secured a second GRAMMY®, confirming his position as his generation’s most soulful jazz artist. Drawing inspiration from his roots in Southern Gospel and the influence of Nat King Cole, Porter’s performances are a masterclass in emotional depth and musical sophistication. His powerful voice and heartfelt original compositions create an intimate connection with audiences, while his interpretations of jazz standards reveal new depths in familiar classics. Porter’s performances showcase his extraordinary repertoire, from soul-stirring originals to beloved standards, all delivered with the warmth and authenticity that have become his hallmarks. Backed by a stellar ensemble, this evening promises to be a celebration of jazz at its finest, presented by an artist at the top of his game. April May Webb as special guest.
