Lizz Wright

On October 21, 2026, Lizz Wright brings her blend of jazz, soul and gospel to the Kulturetage in Oldenburg. Raised in Georgia in the church choir and later trained in jazz in Atlanta, the US singer fuses spiritual roots with a calm, earthy sonic language. Her repertoire spans early pieces from Salt and Dreaming Wide Awake, the spiritual coloring of Fellowship, to the southern-tinged interpretations on Grace. Ballads, spirituals and folk influences form the backbone, carried by a warm voice and clear melodies.

With Shadow (2024) Wright has further opened her current soundscape: acoustic, pared-down, leaving space for band dialogue and subtle dynamics. Live she favors intimate arrangements, understated Americana shades and carefully chosen covers that sit naturally beside her own compositions. Expect a focused evening that dispenses with grand gestures and draws its tension from timing, breath and the interplay of a well-rehearsed band.
