Experience Allan Harris live on July 17th

Allan Harris will be performing at Birdland Theater in New York City on July 17, 2026. Harris is a jazz vocalist and guitarist known for blending traditional jazz sensibilities with elements of blues, soul, and Brazilian music. His work often features sophisticated harmonic structures and lyrical storytelling, drawing comparisons to artists like Nat King Cole and Billy Strayhorn while maintaining a distinctly modern sound. He has released several critically acclaimed albums throughout his career, exploring themes of love, loss, and social commentary.

Birdland Theater is located in the heart of Manhattan’s theater district and carries a significant legacy within the jazz world. The original Birdland club, operating from 1949 to 1965, was renowned as one of the most important jazz clubs in history, hosting legendary performers such as Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. While not in the same physical location as the original, Birdland Theater aims to continue that tradition by presenting a diverse range of jazz and cabaret performances. It’s known for its intimate setting and commitment to showcasing both established artists and emerging talent. The current venue opened in 2015 as part of the larger Birdland Jazz Club complex.
