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,” acclaimed vocalist and songwriter Lizz Wright sings with a soaring reflection of the cultural fabric of America. Wright is one of the great modern American singers with an illustrious 20-year career transcending social divides with her offer of love and deep sense of humanity.

Wright culls inspiration from her Southern upbringing in Georgia where she was the musical director of a small church of which her father was the pastor. The call and response singing with the church congregation was her first brush with music. Soon she would traverse the Great American Songbook on her path to becoming a beloved international treasure.

Opening for Lizz Wright is performer, visual artist and advocate STORRY, who is quickly emerging as an artist to watch.

Though rooted in R&B, STORRY draws influences from hip hop to soulful funk and reggae to emotional pop. She balances grit and poise in her lyrics, using her enigmatic storytelling abilities to create multi-faceted characters, she strives to inspire through music that is evocative and honest.
