Acclaimed vocalist Lizz Wright sings with a soaring reflection of the cultural fabric of America, transcending social divides with an offer of love and deep sense of humanity. Her music accepts the beauty of reality and a collective experience of belonging. For the listener, Wright’s songs embody a tradition that allows us to always feel at home.
At the age of 22, Wright made a name for herself nationally with a touring concert tribute to Billie Holiday, in which her poised performance stole the show. At 23, she released the album Salt, which topped Billboard’s contemporary jazz charts. Her subsequent albums continued to top the charts with her single “Lean In” from Freedom & Surrender landing on President Obama’s 2016 Summer Playlist. Wright’s full-length studio recording Grace reveals the web of deep-running roots of story and song that bind together the vastly diverse traditions that are the soul of the American South.
