Lizz Wright

Awesome singer. She never disappoints. One of the best vocalists to go see live. The venue is nice, but you need to start selling snacks/light meals again so people can eat finger foods while drinking as well. Thanks

Again, Lizz Wright shows why she's one of the top jazz female vocalist in this era.. her band was tight and you could tell that they enjoyed performing for us.

I have seen Lizz now 5 times she is great every time. Her voice and delivery are moving with amazing lyrics. She works well with her band and had a great opening act that later came on to perform with her. The only downside is that while Howard Theatre is a great venue is stopped servicing food and it did not clearly state this on the website. I suggest catching her at the Birchmere if possible.

One of my favorite female volcalists, Liz Wright was right-on target. Her soulful depth of voice is mesmerizing and leaves you saying...WOW!.

I was just recently introduced to Lizz Wright's music and have come to absolutely love it. I love her style and her vibe too. This was a great concert and I would certainly recommend her to friends the next time she comes to the D.C. area.

Absolutely wonderful. Breathtaking really. We had hoped she would preform for what we consider her number one song "I'm Confessing" nevertheless we were still greatly pleased with her set selection. Thanks you Liz...keep doing what you do cause you do it SO well!

Lizz Wright and her band were terrific. We loved the bass player, he was laying it down and funky. If she had sung 'Blue Rose' I would have given this concert 5 stars. She sang a lot of tunes from 'The Orchard'. Great delivery, heartfelt, great pitch and beautiful tone. No b.s., just honest, heartfelt and soulful music from musicians who play with the song in mind.

Lizz Wright was AWESOME!! She has the most unforgettable voice I have ever heard. There was no idle chit-chat between songs, which I really appreciated. Her voice is a treasure. The 'sacred songs' she sang reminded me of Mahalia Jackson...POWERFUL! Whenever she is in Boston, I WILL BE THERE. I will also let all my friends know about her and her show.

the resonance of her voice is amazing. she is sultry and playful and strong much better than her cd

Absolutely phenomenal. GREAT voice. GREAT stage presence. GREAT concert.

There is no one better out there than Lizz Wright! I can listen to her 24/7...

I'd spend over a $100 to see her perform\u2014what a gift at less than half the cost! Lizz Wright is beyond the real deal\u2014sultry, rich, powerful vocals coupled with an enchanting stage presence that draws her audience into an experience that you wish would never end. In the past six months, next to Maxwell performance, she is second to none in the industry. Her sound is timeless and I reach for it when I need a warm caress. Looking forward to seeing her perform over the next 20-30 years.

I first came across Salt during a deployment to Al Asad Air Base, Iraq. Looking at the jewel cover, she reminded me of Tracy Chapman. While listening to the CD I instantly became a fan. As Soon as I Get Home touched my heart over and over again. Her music is so real, yet romantic. When I returned home I searched the internet for her concert locations. Sadly, she was not performing near my home. I wanted to fly to ATL in May 07 to see her, but my wide disagreed. On Jan 22, 2010 Ticket Master s notification indicated that Lizz would be at the Birchmere on April 7th. I quickly purchased tickets. Last night my wife and I enjoyed her live performance. Her demeanor was so mature and her personality is so fitting for her profession. Of course the musician opened the concert. They presented so much talent and emitted so much love for their craft. Lizz s voice brought tears to my ears as I sat next to my wife, amazed of her performance of Old Man . She easily transitioned as she sang a well developed selection of songs. On a scale of 1 10, I give her performance an 11.

Perfect marriage of venue and performer with the Birchmere in NoVa hosting Lizz Wright Wed April 7th. This Georgia-raised chanteuse spilled rich tones, both delicate and deep, from an impossibly relaxed, lithe physique (1st time seeing her live; there was love between us, I'm sure!). Her instrument was in control throughout the evening, and in so doing allowed the packed crowd to relax as one might normally be able to in the privacy of own home/screen porch on a hot summer's night with Lizz on the (insert your music gizmo provider). Ms. Wright's (yes! - an adult at barely 30 years old!) approach assumes a certain maturity going into the experience. Her easy sophistication, style and sense of inclusion of musical forms would charm just about anyone who is feeling "dumbed down" by all too much popular music currently. From the ethereal atmospherics that accompanied her bend of Neil Young's "Old Man" which opened the show, to the sparse stride/rag infused -set of "sacred songs" at show's mid-point, all the way through to shows "done already?" closing numbers, this was simply a delightful 90+ minutes with a woman who deserves to be heard by more, but you almost hope remains what you feel her following thinks of her: As in juicy gossip, told well, LIzz Wright allows her audience to feel intimately involved in a secret that might be spoiled if too many find out.

We just loved her voice and the band that was with her. She is a marvelous singer and we would definitely go to see her again, Loved it!

I have been to a lot of concerts in my time, but never have I been so filled with joy and peace as I was last night at the Lizz Wright concert. She is simply a wonderful songbird that brings her spiritual essence and bright light into the atmosphere, that all you can do is surrender to the power of her voice and captivating smile. The words of the music are just the tip of the volcanic energy that exuberates from this beautiful and talented woman. It is a true blessing to witness the gift that God gave her and how she maintains the old-school music style...no smoke and mirrors, just down right AWESOME SINGING! PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW...keep flowing Lizz, keep flowing!!!

Lizz Wright is such a versatile singer/songwriter. Her renditions of Neil Young's, Old Man (take a look at yourself...) and Amazing Grace were heartfelt and gorgeous. She can sing gospel, country, folk, rock, jazz and any mixture thereof. Her own compositions are the most precious like Stop, Hit the Ground, My Heart, Speak your Heart and Wake Up LIttle Sparrow (although she did not sing the last song- it is one of my favorites). Her voice is soulful in every sense of the word. Thoroughtly enjoyed her concert.

The voice is magnificent to listen to. However, the music is not new and needs new material badly. Electric guitar and bass are too much. Accoustical guitar and bass 100% better. Those who have never heard her live, loved the program. This was my third time in three years and I was very disappointed and even bored at times.

Simply Amazing. What a beautiful voice, wrapped up in a beautiful spirit. Last night was the first time that I have seen Lizz perform in person, and it was truly a treat. It will not be my last time.

Liz Wright has amazing control over her beautiful voice.

I've always been a huge Lizz fan. Nothing could have prepared me for the show I witnessed last night. She and her band are in total sync. She is a goddess - body, mind and soul. The band couldn't have been more solid and her voice penetrates your every being. If you're a fan you should not miss an opportunity to see her perform live. Her artistry shines through her vocals, body language and stage presence.

You could feel the soul of the words as she sang them. She made the words living breathing organisms and they floated through out the room. Her voice is a gift from God.

Amazing! She has he most beautiful voice and amazing band. Kenny Banks was superb. Great night.

Simply one of the best concerts I have attended. Her vocals were strong, crisp, and great range. Her passion for her craft is easily recognizable. I was impressed with her range of music, jazz, gospel, country. In a world where reward often exceeds talent it is refreshing to see someone as talented as Lizz Wright. I often measure singers by how they sound in person compared to their CD's. In Lizz Wright's case she sounded even better in person.

This is my second Lizz Wright experience at the Birchmere. It's the perfect, quaint venue for her style of performance. Lizz's vocal interpretations are wonderfully enchanting. Nevertheless, they were presented much LOUDER than necessary in such an intimate space. She truly needs an exceptional sound technician to highlight the beauty and depth of her voice.

This woman was fantastic. Her musical attributes and maturity have soared. This child can moan like none other. She was great. What a pleasurable evening. I wish she would come back more often.

The venue was ok but it allowed for a personal feel with the artist and her band. The performance was spectacular and I cant say enough words about how it was just a real down home environment where you can see Lizz and her awesome band. I loved it from beginning to end and would suggest her to anyone on the planet that hasnt heard this wonderful songstress sing!!!

I have every Lizz Wright album and I find her music moving, thoughtful and inspirational. Her live performance exceeded my lofty expectations. Lizz is very personable and engaged with the audience often. Her voice is pitch-perfect. The set had great balance of uptempo and ballads. I will not miss Lizz in concert in the futre!

The most amazing concert I have been to. Lizz Wright is awsome and her voice is amazing...I would travel anywhere to see and hear her perform..She is the best....

Introduced to Lizz at this year's Monterey Jazz Festival (CA) I had to find out where, and when she was performing in the So Cali area; she did not disappoint. Lizz and her band was, and is AMAZING. Her concerts are not just a performance, it's an EXPERIENCE like no other; it's original, soulful, spirital, and afterwards, you feel very uplifted, joyful...May God continue to use of gift of singing to bless many others...

I have been to over 100 concerts in the last four years and Lizz Wright was one concert I will never forget. Her true grace and beautiful vocals were unforgettable. I would fly to another state to see her again.

The lady can sing. Luckily I was in the front row, so I was able to overhear all of the non-microphoned purrs, hums, oohs, and yeahs that this lovely sultry-voiced songstress cooed in apparent feeling that those in the rows behind me missed. These delightful warbles of feeling showed how "into it" she is when she sings her songs. Her apparent closeness to her bandmates was evident with the few interactions the front row patrons could overhear between songs, as well. Numerous times my body felt chills as her voice went deep, then altered like a soaring sparrow, as her interpretations sounded more confident with time and experience. Why she's not HUGE is beyond my understanding.

I think all the performers were great but when I first purchase my ticket the only artist scheduled was lizz wright. This was disappointing because made lizz wright performance short but overall the show was great.

Her voice is amazingly beautiful. It is like silk.

Lizz Wright is absolutely amaze-balls! I have seen her once before a long time ago (maybe around album 2 release time) and her performance level from then until now has sky rocketed! She is so talented and her voice just fills the room and hugs the listener like a romantic evening in front of the fire. By the way, this is the first time that I have been to the balcony of the Howard Theater, what a nice experience. I enjoyed a great booth with a terrific view and it felt like we were in some palatial theater with VIP seats. I would recommend this venue and this amazingly talented singer to anyone I know!

Outstanding show, Liz Wright's voice is incredible Loved that she did some of her old stuff mixed in with the new CD Venue, Howard Theatre is great. There are no bad seats and the sound system is incredible.

What a treat to see these to incredible musicians play together. What's more they obviously loved doing it. I'm hard pressed to say who had more fun, the audience or Liz and Raul. I've been a big fan of Liz Wright and her musicianship and voice for a long time but this was my first experience hearing Raul Midon. I have to say I'm very, very impressed. It seems there is nothing he cannot do musically. He sings, he plays guitar, he plays drums, he writes music - and he does all of it superbly. Unlike many musical collaborations, this was not just two musicians taking turns performing their own repertoire. They truly performed together. Taking turns on verses, singing harmonies and playing together on every piece. You could see the time invested and the joy they both took in working together. This was worth every penny.

Something truly special happened and you missed it! This was my first time seeing Lizz in performance and she is definitely better than I could have imagined. Second, it was a treat to also see her perform with Raul Midon. This guy definitely has some talent and they pair together well. A must see if you get the chance!

These two artists complimented each other beautifully. I'm already devoted to Lizz Wright's music and particularly loved the rare and gorgeous musical chemistry shared between artists.

Although it was a Tuesday night, the room had uninhibited energy. It was raw and real and cool. I would love to be able to experience that again!

Lizz Wright was luminous and lovely sharing the spot light...audience varied and very enthusiatic

Great collaboration on each others songs. Great show! Gave 4 stars because I didn't want the show to end!

What an experience! I went there expecting that Midon was the opening act and that Wright would be the "main act". So when they both got on stage together, I was a little confused...lol. But it turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise. Their voices complemented each other SO perfectly! Every single song they performed (whether from her album or his album) was AMAZING! I'm still in awe...

I have always been a fan of both artists, and their performances Tuesday night just proves why. Their voices are so rich and blend so well. What a wonderful evening!!!

Amazing Concert I was surprised they preformed each others songs as a duet.

It is always refreshing to go to a concert at a venue where the performers are TRUE musicians....their voice is their instrument. The Birchmere Music House in Alexandria, Virginia is a PERFECT venue. Not too big, not too small. We were pleasantly surprised when they BOTH walked out onstage to perform for just over 90 minutes. I am HUGE fans of both and wish they would collaborate on a CD with both their voices!

This is about the 4th time I've seen Lizz live. The first time I saw her was at the Blue Note in NYC and Norah Jones was in the audience and had come to see Lizz. Lizz has a phenomenal voice and an eclectic range. Her low profile is evidence that the music industry is less about talent and more about marketability

Lizz as usual was incredible, in great voice and well worth the cost of the ticket. The music flowed and she connected to every song yet I would have preferred to hear more of the music from her first three works than the last. It all fit in perfectly I simply missed hearing Salt and had hoped for A taste of Honey, yet understand that she has so much music now that it is impossible to give all the people everything they want (which is why we purchase her music). Love her and will be looking for the next concert and cd.

This event was awesome.....Lizz and her band has great chemistry...she has a beautiful way of expressing her music. Lizz is unique, soulful, spiritual, country, classy, fun, & energetic! ....it was truly a wonderful evening celebrating my birthday!!!! A little something for everyone! I will see Lizz tonight in Augusta, Ga!!!!!

I love every show of hers I see! She is beautiful, peaceful, and has amazing musicianship. I can't wait to see her again!

I loved it! Her voice is so powerful, pure and amazing! The Birchmere is an awesome venue and a great way to see a concert. I can't wait to catch Lizz again or other acts that I"m looking forward to seeing up close one day.

My husband and I have been a fan of Lizz for a number of years but have never had the chance to see her in concert. Wow, what we were missing! I know that I do not have words to describe how amazing she and her band were. Very powerful performance, her recordings do not do her justice. There is an energy that she has that you do not get from a CD, the audience was really into every song and I think she fed off that and the audience sensed it. I've seen other artists in concert and you don't always get that vibe. She seems like a genuinely happy person and it showed in her performance! And to see her in a smaller venue such as the Birchmere was a real treat. It's just a shame that their food is over priced and not all that great. I do get that they are trying to feed hundreds of people in a short time but that's not a great excuse; they do it every day.

What a wonderful night! Lizz Wright is an extraordinary singer whose vocals are soulful, joyful and yet so relaxed that it's hard to remember that her performance goes virtually non-stop for over 90 minutes. Her obvious love of song and singing amplify the already high-quality of her performance. She includes the audience without distracting from its enjoyment of her performance, which is, after all, what you pay to hear.

Liz Wright is not just an amazingly talented musician and singer, she feels the music with her entire being. This was aparent during her concert at the Birchmere last Friday. She not only embodied the songs but she brought the entire audience along for the ride. Not many singers have a voice as deep and powerful as Wright, but even fewer bring such depth of emotion to their performance. Add to that a group of four highly talented colaborators and you end up with a truely memorable evening of music performed at the highest level.

I saw her in 2005, missed her in subsequent years, but was so happy I went this year. My husband enjoyed it too. Loved the band (new band it seems) and yes, she is just Wright!

Lizz Wright's performance was one of style, grace, elegance and soul. She has an awesome future as a stylish jazz singer.

The mark of a true artist...they sound better in person than their recordings. Lizz is definitely one of these FEW! This concert transported me to a warm nurturing place that enveloped my whole sprit in love. Her voice is like the Balm of Gilead. I sat down stressed and left flying high.

I thought Lizz Wright was fantastic!!! Her voice was even better live than on her CDs. My only disappointment is that she didn't sing more songs from the SALT cd.

I was not familiar with Lizz Wright prior to seeing her at this performance. My wife and I went with our daughter who knew of her music and had seen her perform in New York. Lizz now has two new fans.

She was great and the venue was nice, but my waitress could have been more courteous.

Bottom line: Lizz Wright is fresh, talented, and most importantly; humble! We really enjoyed the show and the small venue. It was emotional, soothing, and sooo enjoyable. Would recommend highly, for real music fans.

Lizz Wright's show was out of this world. It was my first time hearing and seeing her on stage and it was something different. Her voice was out of this world. She is a very talented and beautiful woman with a voice that will light up any room. I look forward to seeing her again when she comes to town.

Lizz was exceptional! Howard theatre leaves much to be desired.

Although the show was short; the performance was superb. Lizz and her band were great. I also would like to complement the staff at the Howard Theatre. they showed a lot of professionalism and courtliest that you don't see that often.

I and my lady are really glad we made this concert at the Howard Theater because it was a great show. Ms. Wright showed off her vocal skills and the band was also ready to perform and in the band also had a organ for the keyboardist to play, so it was really a great concert.

Beautiful performance! Thank you all for sharing your talents!

I thought the musicians were very good. Mostly laid back music, not much educational information provided to the audience. Unfortunately Hoyt Sherman has the most uncomfortable seats and bad sight lines for such a nice theater. That is why I gave the concert 2 stars instead of more, the location made it difficult to enjoy.

Love Lizz Wright, Chris Potter, and Ben Street. The rest of the band are stellar players too. But this concert was lackluster at best. Highlights were Potter's and the trombone player's solos. Choice of material may have contributed to the uninspiring performance. Left disappointed.

We came for Lizz Wright. Did not get to see much of her. The band played over her in one number

wonderful show! well done! Loved the compositions!

As the famous oviedo mogul once said "It's Colossal, Stupendous, Extraordinary, etc."

Lizz is a fantastic vocalist and performer. From the Holiness church to the secular stage, Lizz has managed to maintain her core sense of self. Her band is first class providing the space for her to soar.

Lizz Wright is one of the most underrated, soulful, skilled, elegant singers of our time! For such a sultry voice, Lizz keeps you engaged with her energy and makes you feel the passion in the music with her vocal expression. Not to mention her awesome band! They brought life and energy to music that is usually mello and smooth without taking anything away from the vibe of the songs! This is definitely an evening for couples or if you just like to hear straight up good music!! I could say more but I'll just say this: I'm so glad I went and would absolutely go again!

Lizz Wright's performance was authentic, deep, natural and just real. She didn't seem to put on airs or pretend to perform - what she did was just sing. Her songs were moving, the band was excellent and their interactions were great. This was my first time seeing her live, although I had purchased her first 3 CDs.

I saw Lizz Wright at the Birchmere a few year back and she put on an amazing show as well. While this set included less selections and less variety in the songs delivered, it was still enjoyable, punctuated by a beautiful cover of Roberta Flack's "The First Time (ever I saw your face)." Setmate Maia Sharp was a welcomed addition to the show as well, as the two ladies complement each other wonderfully.

Great intimate vibe and incredibly gifted singer and her band is outstanding !!

Lizz Wright what a talent, She rocked Monday night like it was the week end. She is connected with the spirit ,I love her........ She is a must see

I saw Lizz at the Birchmere 3/14/16. Really liked how she sang both "Freedom" and "Silence Is a Song"--seeming to affirm both potential responses to the Spirit. Reminded me of how "Hamilton" depicts both main characters as unwilling to "throw away their shot," while showing their very different approaches--fire and ice, lightning and lava--to taking it. Also affirmed Sly Stone's endorsement of different strokes for different folks.She's still got it. Go see her and make her the superstar she deserves to be!

This was my first time seeing Lizz Wright in concert. The word beautiful would describe everything. If you have the chance to see Lizz Wright run don't walk. You'll be forever changed.

It was a special treat to see her reunited with Kenny Banks. I enjoyed every song. After having seen her live with other vocalists, I was looking forward to seeing her on her own. She did not disappoint. It was also great being in the Roxy again.

From the beginning to the end, Lizz engaged the crowd with her soothing voice. I have never been to a concert where the vocalist sounds like or better than the recordings. Keep on keeping on!

Lizz Wight is a once in a generation performer with the gift of song. She weaves gorgeous stories with perfect pitch tempo and timing. This is my second time seeing her live and I will be a lifelong fan...she is truly a master of the craft.

What a voice! totally incredible. So much spirit and soul. I was incredible happy to see her live (my first time) She has a beautiful voice and so much passion when she sings, you can tell how much she loves what she does. A must see!

Lizz Wright was awesome @ the Buckhead Theatre. This show left me wanting more and more. Lovely venue for her to perform up close and personal. I love lsitening to Lizz Wright every day of the week. Can't wait til she comes back home.

Saw Lizz Wright at the The Buckhead Theater Sunday night. Lizz is the quintessential female vocalist of our time. You will probably never hear her music on mainstream radio. She is from the small town of Hahira, Georgia but she is destine for even greater things. Here are a few selection from her six CDs that may give you a favor for her music. She really does not fit in any genre of music and I glad she doesn't.

This concert was the best I have experienced in a long time. The songs and the music was so pure and resonating. Lizz Wright's voice is like none other. It is a rich, distinctive, beautiful sound. Kenny Banks really let loose, as only he can do. It doesn't take a lot of glitz and distracting elements to present beautiful music, and that is what was accomplished on Sunday night. It was truly a wonderful ending to the weekend.

THIS IS MY FIRST CONCERT AT THIS VENUE. THE CONCERT STARTED ON TIME LIZ'S LIVE WAS BEYOND ANYTHING I COULD IMAGINE SHE SOUNDED SO MUCH BETTER THAN HER CD. A BREATHTAKING EXPERIENCE. WHOEVER SET UP THE MICS OR ACOUSTICS IN THE VENUE WAS ON POINT. HER VOICE WAS SO DISTINCT AND THE MUSICIANS WERE AWESOME, HER BACKUP SINGERS VOICES BLENDED SO WELL WITH HERS. CUDOS TO LIZ WRIGHT IF THIS PERFORMANCE WAS RECORDED I WOULD LOVE TO GET THE CD. IT WAS GREAT. HOPE TO SEE MORE OF HER IN ATLANTA MORE OFTEN.

This was an amazing night. Lizz is an incredible talent with a phenomenal voice! Additionally, the band members were all top notch and blended beautifully! I was particularly impressed with Kenny Banks on the piano! If you ever get a chance, don't miss Lizz Wright in concert!

With a voice as smooth, deep and rich as velvet, Lizz Wright gave an outstanding concert on February 28th at the Buckhead Theater. While I loved every song she sang, her rendition of To Love Somebody sent chills down my spine and her gut wrenching Speak Your Heart made me cry. Her band was exceptional with each musician giving all both in their solos as well as during their collaboration. Awesome performance. I planned a trip from Connecticut to visit family in Atlanta, around this performance date. Wise decision on my part.

Excellent her band was great& Kenny Banks played the keyboards like a"Crazy Man". Absolutely off the chain.

Loved it...Liz is always so graceful and the sound of her voice is illuminating

I only went to see Lizz but was pleasantly surprised by the other 2 jazz artists. Overall very entertaining show with so much talent! It was a great evening out! If you get the chance to see Lizz Wright live you must go! amazing talent and great entertainer! One of my favorites!
