Gregory Porter

On July 21, 2026, Gregory Porter brings his blend of jazz, soul and gospel to the Seebühne Bremen. The California‑raised singer, with his warm baritone, is known for storytelling songs with clear melodies and a phrasing that remains close to spoken word. Since Water and Be Good he has honed his sound; Liquid Spirit and Take Me to the Alley continue that trajectory with pieces ranging from grooving mid‑tempos to quiet ballads. With Nat King Cole & Me he links his repertoire to the standards, while All Rise opens the door to new arrangements.

Live, Porter takes the stage with a well‑rehearsed band that leaves room for improvisation without losing the songs from view. The set pairs personal stories with social themes, club inflections with classic songwriting. You’ll hear original compositions alongside selected covers; the dynamics shift between hushed, gospel‑tinged moments and driving jazz‑soul numbers. An evening that places the voice at the center — with a dense groove, warm harmonies and the narrative impulse that defines Porter’s concerts, open‑air in Bremen.
