Lizz Wright with Kenny Banks Sr.
Through her luminous voice and soulful storytelling, acclaimed vocalist and songwriter Lizz Wright returns to the stage with the grace and honesty that have defined her remarkable 20-year career. Described by The New York Times as possessing “a smooth, dark alto” reminiscent of “barrel-aged bourbon or butter-soft leather”, Wright’s sound bridges generations and genres, uniting gospel, jazz, blues, and folk traditions into something deeply human and uniquely her own.
Raised in Georgia, Wright’s musical roots trace back to the church where her father preached, and she led the choir – experiences that continue to shape her resonance and emotional depth. Over the years, she has released a string of acclaimed albums, including Salt, Dreaming Wide Awake, and Grace, earning her place among America’s great modern voices.
With her rich tone, poetic lyricism, and a presence that feels both intimate and transcendent, Lizz Wright invites audiences to experience music as a moment of reflection, renewal, and shared joy.
