Andra Day makes her Blue Note Jazz Club debut.
The Grammy-winning and Oscar-nominated actress will make her New York venue debut on May 6. The one-night-only engagement will consist of two show hours, the first starting at 8:30 p.m. and the second starts at 10:30 p.m. Ticket information is available at Blue Note's Website.
The upcoming performance marks Day's first appearance in New York for the first time in seven years. The club recently announced upcoming dates from Killer Mike, Kelela and Robert Glasper.
Day will also headline the 2024 edition of the Blue Note Jazz festival in New York. The five-week parade of concerts kicks off June 1 and will include 94 shows at nearly four dozen venues across five venues — most notably the Blue Note club itself in Greenwich Village, as well as Sony Hall, Brooklyn Bowl, Town Hall, SummerStage in Central Park and celebrate Brooklyn at the Prospect Park Bandshell.
Corinne Bailey Rae, Yussef Dayes, Ezra Collective and many more will also perform during the month-plus festival.
Day is gearing up for the release of her highly anticipated third album, CASSANDRA (cherith), which is set to arrive on May 10 via Warner Records. On Thursday (April 11), she released her new single “Chasing.”
Earlier this year, Day officially added to a historic run of annual pre-Super Bowl performances by singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” at Super Bowl 2024, held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on February 11.
Day, who received an Oscar nomination three years ago for her lead performance United States vs. Billie Holidayhe also performed “Memory Lane” during the 2024 NAACP Image Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in March.
