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. The Box
Office at Jimmy's Jazz and Blues Club is open daily from 10 AM to 5
