Gregory Porter

Gregory Porter, the American singer and songwriter, performs a jazz concert at the O2 Apollo in Manchester. The evening is built around his vocal jazz, which draws on blues and soul.

Gregory Porter is an American singer, songwriter and actor, born in Sacramento in 1971. His music is vocal jazz that blends blues and soul, and he has recorded for the Blue Note label since his debut album, Water, released in 2010.

The concert brings this vocal jazz repertoire to the stage of the O2 Apollo, a venue in Manchester that hosts concerts and shows throughout the year. The evening suits listeners who follow jazz singing and the blend of blues and soul that runs through Porter's recordings.

This visit to Manchester is one of several dates on the tour, and the programme centres on the songs that have made Porter's name as a vocalist and songwriter since the start of his recording career.
