| Performance Notes | At the start of 2010, the buzz about the LA-born and Brooklyn-based jazz/soul vocalist was a strong, steady murmur, fueled by a growing crowd of fans who'd caught his performance in the Tony-nominated Broadway hit, It Ain't Nothin' but the Blues, or his weekly stints at the Harlem club, St. Nick's Pub.
By the end of 2012, with his second CD, Be Good, having earned a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional R'n'B Performance, the buzz had built to a roar, with the incredible accolades showered on Porter showing no sign of decreasing either in volume or enthusiasm.
As the year drew to a close, Porter's music topped an extraordinary number of 'Best of 2012' lists, including NPR's 'Best Music of 2012' and '100 Favorite Songs of 2012', iTunes 'Jazz Album of the Year' and Soul Train's 'Top 10 Albums of 2012'. Be Good was also named Soul Tracks' 'Album of the Year'.
Gregory Porter blew audiences away at BluesFest 2013 - don't miss him doing it all over again this year! |
