No Upcoming Concerts
We're sorry, but we couldn't find any upcoming concerts for Gregory Porter. Please check back soon.
The beloved jazz vocalist
Gregory Porter may be instantly recognisable from his trademark deerstalker cap, but his sonorous, Grammy-winning voice speaks for itself. Born in California in 1971, Porter grew up in a musical household and began singing in church, where his mother was a pastor and his father a singer.
After an injury hindered his hopes to pursue American Football, Porter turned to his vocal talents and moved to New York City in 2004 to build a career. After performing local shows and earning himself a residency, in 2010 he released his debut Water. Porter's popularity rocketed from the underground jazz scene to the mainstream in 2013, when his third full-length Liquid Spirit – his first on Blue Note Records – won Best Jazz Vocal Album at the Grammy's. Three years later its follow-up, Take Me to the Alley, won the same award. In 2017 he released Nat "King" Cole & Me, a buttery smooth ode to one of his musical heroes.
In 2024, Porter announced an extensive UK tour for spring 2025 with Jo Harrop in support.

Gregory Porter was absolutely amazing and his bands instrumentals were out of this world. We parked at the park and ride and we're directed by metro link staff where to go . There were staff available to direct or help all around the venue. Fantastic venue. Fantastic concert we'll definitely visit the Co-op live again
A simply magical evening! Great venue, easy parking (pre-booked in Blue Car Park - pricey but well worth it!) Sound quality in-venue was stunning One bizarre thing - seats aren't so big, but have armrests with cup-holders... but you can only use them for one of those things at a time! (if you've been, you'll know what I mean!) As for Gregory Porter.... We saw him in 2022 at the AO. It was an almost identical set, apart from an encore of 'Its Probably Me' which was outstanding! Though still a simply awesome event!
Still enjoyed the gig but like many others thought he had made it way to jazzy with too many bebop doodly bobs. Last gig in Glasgow much better.
Blown away by how amazing Gregory Porter was at The CoOp Live arena on Saturday. Everything about it was magnificent. His voice, his band......a joy from start to finish. Thank you for a memorable evening.
A fabulous warm up act who and her pianist should have been given more than 20 minutes, especially as there was then a 40 minute break before Gregory appeared He has a voice like warm melting chocolate, silky smooth and you want more of it. The musicians backing Gregory were fantastic, especially the double base and saxaphone players. Great audience interaction.
Gregory Porter is just fantastic and he comes across as such a gentleman. A brilliant voice and entertainer. Love the way he lets his band showcase themselves individually. A great night of music in a great venue. The SEC Glasgow Armadillo. Hotels within a 3 min walk to the venue. Booked with ease through Ticketmaster.
Gregory was excellent as always and support very good. The space in between was far too long Gregory should have come on straight after the support. Some of the songs lasted too long, been a few times to see Gregory and this was the most disappointing so far, not a lot of new songs introduced.
3rd time seeing Gregory Porter, but 1st time eeing him at the Armadillo. Faultless performance, playing all our personal favourites. Unfortunately the Armadillo did not seem to recognize the need for ventilation or air conditioning. The auditorium was very warm and stuffy, with most audience members in the stalls getting more & more audibly uncomfortable. If only this gad been addressed it would have been the perfect night out.
What a voice Gregory Porter has! Music to soothe the soul.
Gregory and his band were outstanding. That sound was superb, not too lound but dynamic when it needed to be. The staff at the Co-Op Area were very professional and helpful. I'm so blessed to have this fantastic venue close to where I live.
