Acclaimed vocalist Lizz Wright will perform at The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in Troy, New York on Saturday, January 26 at 8 p.m. Wright’s interpretations of American music bring depth and vibrancy to her original songs and compositions by other great songwriters.

Her song “Lean In” from the album “Freedom & Surrender” landed on President Barack Obama’s 2016 Summer Playlist. Her latest album is entitled “Grace.” In addition to creating and performing music, Lizz Wright is the cafe manager at Little Black Pearl Art and Design Center in the Southside of Chicago, Illinois.
