When Lizz Wright last took the stage with us in 2025, the show was sold out – and the audience lingered long after the final note. Now, she returns. With a voice that The New York Times has described as “a smooth, dark alto,” Wright has established herself as one of the most distinctive voices in modern American music. She moves effortlessly between jazz, soul, and gospel, with an expression that is both grounded and deeply moving. Raised in Georgia, where her father was a pastor, Wright first encountered music in the church. The call-and-response with the congregation still shapes the way she sings today – intimate, direct, and with a strong connection to the audience. Her breakthrough came early, with a touring tribute to Billie Holiday and her debut album Salt (2003), which topped the U.S. jazz charts. Since then, she has built an impressive catalogue, with releases including Dreaming Wide Awake, The Orchard, Fellowship, Freedom & Surrender, and Grace. In recent years, Wright has taken full control of her artistry through her own record label, and with the album Shadow (2024), she reveals an even more stripped-down and personal side. Here, she explores themes of love, loss, and belonging, with a sound shaped by acoustic instruments and warm, organic arrangements. As she now returns to Cosmopolite, everything is set for a new evening where artist and audience meet in the same space – close, honest, and without filter.

Artist bio
Lizz Wright
Lizz Wright
Through an inimitable voice that The New York Times touts as, “a smooth, dark alto possessed of qualities you might associate with barrel-aged bourbon or butter-soft leather,” acclaimed vocalist and songwriter Lizz Wright sings with a soaring reflection of the cultural fabric of America. Wright is one of the great modern American singers with an illustrious 20-year career transcending social divides with her offer of love and deep sense of humanity.

At the age of 22, Wright first made a name for herself nationally as a vocalist with a touring concert tribute to Billie Holiday. At 23, she signed with Verve Records for the 2003 release of her debut album, Salt, which topped Billboard’s contemporary jazz charts. She went on to record for Universal Music Group and released the albums Dreaming Wide Awake (2005), The Orchard (2008), and Fellowship (2010). On Concord, Wright released Freedom & Surrender (2016) – featuring the single “Lean In,” which landed on President Obama’s Summer 2016 playlist – and Grace (2017).

Wright launched her own independent record company, Blues & Greens Records (LINK), with the June 2022 release of Holding Space, a brilliant live album (produced by Christian Ulbrich) capturing a Berlin, Germany concert in 2018. In 2024, Wright released her studio debut album, Shadow, produced by Chris Bruce and executive produced by Lizz Wright on Blues & Greens Records (with licensing/distribution through Lightyear Entertainment/Virgin Music). Wright pens five originals as she celebrates the intimacy of romantic love, loss, community, and healing.
