Two-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Gregory Porter injects his passion for jazz, gospel, and blues into live performances with soul-drenched lyrics like, “Though my past has left me bruised/I ain’t hiding from the truth/When the truth won’t let me lie right next to you.” Porter’s warm baritone vocals have been compared to his idols Nat King Cole and Stevie Wonder, and have earned him recognition as a trailblazer in the jazz world. Porter tells GQ, “What makes jazz different is that you can’t predict it, it’s all about freedom. Just when you think you know what you’re going to hear there’ll be a left turn, a jazz musician will change it up.”
