Gregory Porter Known for his warm baritone vocals, Gregory Porter rose to acclaim in the 2010s with his earthy, cross-pollinated brand of jazz, soul, and gospel. A gifted singer of standards as well as more contemporary soul material, Porter has earned favorable comparisons to his idols Nat King Cole, Donny Hathaway, and Stevie Wonder. He announced his arrival by picking up a Grammy nomination for his 2010 debut, Water. After signing to Blue Note, he gained even wider notice for his third album, 2013's Liquid Spirit, which hit number two on the jazz charts, and won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Although his original songs are his main focus, Porter often returns to his roots, such as on his 2017 tribute album Nat King Cole & Me. Paying tribute to the artist who had been most influential on his own music, Nat King Cole & Me featured Porter's versions of some of Cole's most treasured classics, including "Smile" and "Mona Lisa." The concert album One Night Only: Live at the Royal Albert Hall arrived in 2018. Presented by Olympia Theater and AEG Presents |

Zucchero D.O.C. World Tour 2020 - Miami Italian superstar Zucchero returns to MIAMI - bringing his current D.O.C. Tour which will see him performing all over North America, Australia and Europe in 2020. With over 60 million records sold, Zucchero recently released his latest studio album D.O.C. (Disco di Origine Controllata), an album of “authentic and genuine” compositions. Says Zucchero, “I’m very protective of this album because it’s very much ‘my’ album, in the intimate sense, meaning that the 11 tracks reflect my current state of mind, what I think, what I feel – more freely and directly than in the past – in a no-frills, much simpler, yet more complex manner. The making of D.O.C. included recording sessions in Iceland, Los Angeles and San Francisco with young, indie-like producers and musicians such as Nicolas Rebscher (Germany), Joel Humlén (Sweden), Ian Brendon Scott & Mark Jackson (USA), Steve Robson (UK) and Eg White (UK), all merging under my direction and that of Don Was, my brother in blues.” Zucchero’s music has broken borders everywhere, thanks to countless collaborations with international artists like Bryan Adams, The Blues Brothers, Bono, Jeff Beck, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Elvis Costello, Miles Davis, Peter Gabriel, John Lee Hooker, BB King, Mark Knopfler, Brian May, Luciano Pavarotti, Iggy Pop, Queen, Alejandro Sanz, Sting and many others. Catch this legendary, international performer as he takes the stage at the Historic Olympia Theater in May 8th, 2020! Presented by Olympia Theater and AEG Presents |
