Amber Gray Will Make New York Solo Concert Debut Next Year
Performances are on April 26-29, 2023.
Amber Gray, known for Broadway's The Great Comet of 1812, Hadestown, and Sam Gold's Macbeth, makes her 54 Below and New York City solo concert debut next year!
Gray grew up singing in the Come-All Choirs of school and church. These communities instilled her love for making sound and taught her singing is a human right and deeply therapeutic art, but the goal was to blend. It wasn't until adulthood that she was encouraged, perhaps forced, to sing solo. This evening will journey through songs that gave Gray a voice, songwriters who enabled Gray's musical theatre career, and samplings of upcoming work including Gray's Eartha Kitt project and her post retirement, seedy lounge singer fantasy.
Performances are on April 26-29, 2023.
