Bradford Live is a concert and performance venue in Bradford, and this show is staged there as a concert under the title Vanessa Williams: Live In Concert. The programme draws on the pop, jazz and rap strands of a career that began in the early 1980s.

The evening suits listeners who want to hear a singer with a long recording history across several styles, from the ballads that made Williams's name in the early 1990s to the jazz-leaning material of later albums. Williams was born in the Bronx in 1963, a detail that places the performer's New York background at the start of a career built across music and acting.
