Gregory Porter

Mighty-lunged vocal sensation Porter, who netted a well-deserved Grammy last year for his sharp 2016 set, Take Me to the Alley, plays the opening show for the staple seasonal concert series Summerstage. At the gig—as well as his two follow-up shows at new midtown venue Sony Hall—expect to hear from his stellar third Blue Note album, Nat King Cole & Me, a fervent tribute to his idol released late last year.
