Gregory Porter performed to sold-out shows in Cape Town and Johannesburg
Porter sang his songs which were layered perfectly and in just the right order. He narrated some of the stories behind his soulful sounds and let the audience into his life with intimate stories that gave birth to some of his greatest songs.the brilliantly talented band that are so spiritually in sync with Porter. Saxophonist Tivon Pennicott, pianist Chip Crawford, Ondrej Pivec on organ, Jamahl Nichols on bass and drummer Emanuel Harrold.
When he sang the last song, the atmosphere became emotional, not only because everyone dreaded the goodbye but because the lights were dimmed and instruments silent as the crowd all sange, as if we were all reaching for that glimmer of hope within us as our voices filled the room. The power of all of us singing together and the meaning of the lyrics were the perfect end to a perfect night with Gregory Porter.
