Gregory Porter is scheduled to perform at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) in Newark, New Jersey on November 13, 2026. Porter is an American singer-songwriter who primarily performs jazz, though his music incorporates elements of soul, blues, gospel, and contemporary R&B. He is widely recognized for his rich baritone voice and emotive storytelling through song. His compositions often explore themes of love, loss, faith, and social commentary. He has received multiple Grammy Awards throughout his career, solidifying his position as a prominent figure in modern jazz.

The New Jersey Performing Arts Center opened in 1997 and is a significant cultural hub for the state and the greater New York metropolitan area. Designed by architect Philip Johnson, the complex features multiple performance spaces including the Prudential Hall (a large theater), the Victoria Theater, and several smaller studios and rooms. NJPAC was conceived as part of a larger urban revitalization effort for Newark’s downtown area. It hosts a diverse range of performances including orchestral concerts, Broadway shows, dance performances, jazz and popular music concerts, and community events. The center aims to provide access to arts education and programming for residents of all ages.
