Gregory Porter, a New Yorker, is easily recognised by his signature cap and \u201cdeep booming baritone\u201d voice. He is often likened to legends like Nat King Cole, Donny Hathaway and Bill Withers for smooth, soulful sound, blending jazz, gospel, soul and blues. He enjoys acclaim across the world, achieving critical and commercial success everywhere from his native US to Europe, the UK and Africa. He\u2019s becoming a relative regular in South Africa, after performing at the Joy of Jazz Festival in 2014 and 2015 and then visiting in 2023 for six sold-out solo concerts.<\/p>\n
\u201cSouth African music fans can\u2019t get enough of Gregory Porter, whether it\u2019s his voice, his songs or his presence\u201d says Tony Feldman of Showtime Management, \u201cso it\u2019s a pleasure to be staging these new shows on the Love is King tour, including his first show in Durban. And bringing Zolani Mahola into the mix for the Cape Town takes things up another level.\u201d<\/p>\n
