Artists / Performers

Event Details

Through an inimitable voice that The New York Times calls “a smooth, dark alto possessed of qualities you might associate with barrel-aged bourbon or butter-soft leather,” renowned vocalist and songwriter Lizz Wright offers a soaring reflection of the cultural fabric of America. Her music transcends social divides with an abiding sense of love, humanity, and belonging, embodying a tradition that invites listeners home. Wright’s 2024 studio album Shadow presents her in a gentle yet triumphant light. Anchored by acoustic guitars and layered with strings, gospel vocals, Carnatic influences, and raw emotion, the album explores intimacy, loss, community, and healing. Produced by Chris Bruce and engineered by Ryan Freeland, Shadow features guest artists Angelique Kidjo and Meshell Ndegeocello. This will be a duo show with Lizz and Kenny Banks Sr. on piano and organ.
