Love is king Tour - Evening with Gregory Porter

On February 24, 2026, Gregory Porter brings his Love Is King tour to the Orpheum in Vancouver. With a rich baritone and a natural blend of jazz, soul and gospel, he moves with ease between originals and the standards that shaped him, including nods to Nat King Cole. From early releases Water and Be Good to Liquid Spirit, a Grammy winner for Best Jazz Vocal Album, then Take Me to the Alley and the orchestral tribute Nat King Cole & Me, Porter has built a songbook where personal stories sit next to modern ballads. All Rise, produced by Troy Miller, pushes that balance further with material cut for the stage.

Live, Porter leans into clarity and warmth, letting phrasing and groove do the work. Expect tight interplay with his band, space for solos, and shifts from swing to slow-burning gospel colors. He draws across his catalogue, revisiting key tracks alongside a few classics, keeping the focus on narrative, rhythm and that unmistakable voice. An evening centered on songs that breathe, with melodies that carry straight to the point.
