About

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.

  • Well worth it!

    by Penny on 23/04/2025The Brighton Centre - BrightonRating: 5 out of 5

    Great preview performance by Jo Hatton. Gregory's voice is incredible as is his band. The show was superb!

  • Absolutely Wonderful Night

    by davidandjo on 23/04/2025The Brighton Centre - BrightonRating: 5 out of 5

    This was the first night of Gregory Porters tour in Brighton and he was on top form with his extended band. Gregory is so generous in allowing every one of his musicians space to show their musicality throughout the show. Really really enjoyed the whole evening.

  • Great gig

    by Mike W on 23/04/2025The Brighton Centre - BrightonRating: 4 out of 5

    Another fantastic performance from Mr Porter and his brilliant band almost ruined by the terrible sound at this venue. The sound quality is worse than any other venue I have been to, and so bad that I had to wear ear plugs. It was very tinny and unnecessarily loud for this type of music. I have been to this venue for many events from comedy to rock, but I probably won't be back for anything musical.

  • Simply Amazing

    by Becky on 07/07/2024Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod - LlangollenRating: 5 out of 5

    Lovely venue, the acoustics and sound was like nothing else. Parking and leaving was easy, well manned carpark and stewards further down the road. Perfect loved every moment and of course Gregory Porter was just sublime.

  • Gregory Porter and JP Cooper

    by Chas’s jazz on 06/07/2024Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod - LlangollenRating: 5 out of 5

    Great night at Llangollen Eisteddfod arena watching the Master at work and a great new name on the block JP Cooper. A Brilliant saxophonist with Gregg and top playing by double bass ,drum, piano ,organ and trumpet players. A top warm up by JP and his band. Catch them both whenever you can .

  • One word. Special.

    by Mark on 06/07/2024Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod - LlangollenRating: 5 out of 5

    Mr Porter and his band were all on fine form. The stage set up in the pavilion of the Eisteddfod was just right. I thoroughly enjoyed his set. He seems quite happy to let his band members share the limelight. Like most recording artists, you dont fully appreciate the power of their voice until you hear it in the flesh. With that said, when he talks to the audience, there is a warmth and a kindness that emanates from him in-between songs, that for me makes him extra special.

  • Disappointing

    by Jools on 06/07/2024Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod - LlangollenRating: 4 out of 5

    I have seen Gregory Porter in concert several times but the whole show was done and dusted including encore which isn't good enough. He has so many songs to do and when you have paid well over £100 a ticket you want some value for money

  • Perfect summer's evening

    by Theproject1 on 06/07/2024Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod - LlangollenRating: 5 out of 5

    Had the pleasure of seeing Mr Gregory Porter and his band of amazing musicians. Great seats, sadly the venue wasn't full but enough for a chilled yet wonderful atmosphere. This mans voice is so smooth he makes Barry White sound like Bonnie Tyler after a night out on the town. The spirit of love is with this man and all those with him on the stage. A beautiful concert.

  • Absolutely amazing voice!

    by Hilary on 06/07/2024Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod - LlangollenRating: 5 out of 5

    To see Gregory Porter at Llangollen was such a privilege and joy - it seemed to be a very personal show and his performance together with his really gifted backing band was astounding. His engagement with the audience was great and he gave each song a personal introduction as to the meaning behind the words. His warm up act JP Cooper was also a great surprise as he was such a talented singer and song writer and his genre was perfect for the audience . A night to remember!

  • Gregory Porter didn't disappoint!

    by GD on 06/07/2024Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod - LlangollenRating: 5 out of 5

    An amazing performance by Gregory Porter and his band at the Llangollen music festival. His rich vocal tones & accompanying music gave myself & my partner the best live music performance we have seen. It will remain a wonderful memory.

  • A disappointment

    by Pollyloo on 02/07/2024Lincoln Castle - LincolnRating: 1 out of 5

    The supporting band was really good. Then we waited ages for Gregory to come on stage. After the first couple of songs we left. He hardly sang, it was mainly instrumental. We went to see him not his band

  • Seating

    by NC from PZ on 02/07/2024Lincoln Castle - LincolnRating: 4 out of 5

    The concert was superb but it was puzzling that chairs were not allowed in. Instead many people brought in blankets to sit on the ground. Many of these took up more space than chairs would have taken up! Gregory's style is not dancey music so standing for all of that time could be difficult for some. By not having chairs an older demographic could be put off attending..

  • Great night!

    by Neenz on 01/07/2024Lincoln Castle - LincolnRating: 5 out of 5

    Gregory Porter was fantastic and the venue was amazing!

  • Velvety smooth

    by Babs132 on 01/07/2024Lincoln Castle - LincolnRating: 5 out of 5

    Wow Gregory Porter is one smooth gent. His voice is brilliant and he is so humble. He sang his heart out for 2.5 hours, right up to the curfew. Thanks Gregory for bringing us JP Cooper, he was brilliant and had the crowd from his first song. A brilliant night.

  • Superb

    by Peter on 01/07/2024Lincoln Castle - LincolnRating: 5 out of 5

    Gregory Porter was as b brilliant as ever, and the setting of Lincoln Castle and the well-organised, super-friendly VIP services made this a very special evening.

  • Awesome Experience!

    by JohnBoy on 01/07/2024Lincoln Castle - LincolnRating: 5 out of 5

    Absolutely amazing voice, great charisma, band were all brilliant, great atmosphere in the castle grounds. Easy access to a large bar, short queue time, plenty of portaloos to hand.
