Gregory Porter

Gregory Porter is a two-time Grammy® winning vocalist and songwriter from Bakersfield, California whose music is at once timeless yet utterly of its time. Porter’s mother was a minister and he cites the Bakersfield Southern Gospel sound as well as his mother’s Nat King Cole record collection as fundamental influences on his own sound. Porter began singing in small jazz clubs while attending San Diego State University on a football scholarship. After touring in the Tony-Award nominated musical It Ain't Nothin' But the Blues, Porter moved to New York City and released two Grammy® nominated albums: Water (2010) and Be Good (2012). Porter’s breakout Blue Note debut Liquid Spirit was released in 2013 and became a global sensation, selling more than a million albums and winning the Grammy® for Best Jazz Vocal Album, with NPR and Esquire declaring him “America’s Next Great Jazz Singer.” Porter has since released the Grammy®-winning album Take Me to the Alley (2016), a Grammy®-nominated tribute to his lifelong idol Nat King Cole & Me (2017) featuring an orchestra arranged and conducted by Vince Mendoza, and the concert film One Night Only: Live At The Royal Albert Hall (2018). He is the host of the new podcast The Hang.
