Allan Harris will perform at Birdland Theater in New York City on July 19, 2026. Harris is a jazz vocalist and guitarist known for blending jazz with elements of blues, soul, and Brazilian music.

He’s recognized for his warm baritone voice and sophisticated arrangements.

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 at 315 West 44th Street, was arguably the most famous jazz club of its time, hosting nearly every major jazz artist during its run. It became renowned for its intimate atmosphere and high-quality performances.

The current Birdland Theater, opened in 1986, continues this tradition as a premier venue for both established and emerging jazz musicians. While smaller than the original location, it maintains a commitment to showcasing diverse jazz styles and providing an engaging experience for audiences. The space focuses specifically on presenting live music performances.
