Acclaimed vocalist Lizz Wright sings with a soaring reflection of the cultural fabric of America, transcending social divides with an offer of love and deep sense of humanity. Her music accepts the beauty of reality and a collective experience of belonging. For the listener, Wright’s songs embody a tradition that allows us to always feel at home.
At the age of 22, Wright made a name for herself nationally with a touring concert tribute to Billie Holiday, in which her poised performance stole the show. At 23, she released the album Salt, which topped Billboard’s contemporary jazz charts. Her subsequent albums continued to top the charts with her single “Lean In” from Freedom & Surrender landing on President Obama’s 2016 Summer Playlist. Wright’s full-length studio recording Grace reveals the web of deep-running roots of story and song that bind together the vastly diverse traditions that are the soul of the American South.
In 2022, Wright launched an independent record company, Blues & Greens Records, with the release of Holding Space, a brilliant live album capturing a 2018 Berlin concert featuring an electrifying 11-song collection. Her label venture is designed to forge an innovative business model where artists are positioned to build sustainable and wholesome careers. Blues & Greens Records creates a healthy ecosystem for Wright and inspires her to imagine and develop offerings for emerging artists.
Lizz will be accompanied by Adam Levy (guitar), Marvin Sewell (guitar), Ben Zwerin (bass), and Jack DeBoe (drums).
