Coming up on the 27 September, Gregory Porter will be live In Conversation with journalist Paris Pompor in a FREE, highly anticipated event. He will be talking on a wide variety of topics; from music: the art of songwriting and his creative inspirations, to growing up in Bakersfield with seven siblings and a mother who instilled in him strong ideas of social justice.

A Blue Note recording artist and Grammy-winning singer, Porter combines the gentlest of spirits with one of the most majestically powerful voices in contemporary jazz and soul. Whether it’s his moving, breakthrough Motor City protest single ‘1960 What?’ his collaborations with British electronic producers Disclosure or his new #1 jazz album ‘Take Me To The Alley‘, he continues to win over audiences while swinging effortlessly between hand-clapping gospel and seriously good jazz bop.

Following his standout set at Glastonbury Festival earlier his year, Porter announced dates for an “intimate” Australian tour for his new, internationally celebrated album which were quickly sold out. However, he will be returning again soon for the Byron Bay Bluesfest in April 2017.
