Gregory Porter

For the first time ever, the highly acclaimed, multi-Grammy Award-winning, platinum-selling vocalist Gregory Porter will make his long-awaited Perth debut, headlining the 2025 Perth International Jazz Festival this October. Hailed as the most soulful jazz artist of his generation, Gregory Porter's rich, warm baritone and magnetic stage presence have captivated audiences across the globe. Now, Perth will have the rare opportunity to witness his brilliance live at The Regal Theatre. Backed by a world-class band featuring longtime collaborators Chip Crawford (piano), Emmanuel Harrold (drums), Tivon Pennicott (tenor sax), and Jahmal Nichols (bass), Porter will perform selections from his acclaimed seven-album repertoire, blending jazz, soul, and gospel into an unforgettable night of music. Porter's career skyrocketed with his Grammy-winning album Liquid Spirit (2013), followed by Take Me to the Alley (2016), solidifying his place as a global jazz powerhouse. His smooth yet powerful vocals have been praised by NPR as "America's Next Great Jazz Singer", and his live performances—such as his legendary Glastonbury set—continue to leave audiences spellbound.
