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 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.
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.
Gregory Porter, his band and support act was fantastic! Unfortunately the food and hot drink acts let Lincoln Castle down. No 'proper' coffee or good food!
Warm up act JP Cooper vocals was brilliant looking forward to his new album. What can I say Gregory Porter was excellent the clarity of his vocals through the sound system was outstanding. The location was perfect for the occasion Lincoln Castle. Looking forward to seeing many more concerts in this Location.
