Festival Menu - Gregory Porter & Band
Gregory Porter, the US star with his unmistakable balloon cap, is considered one of the most emotionally expressive jazz singers of his generation. His music thrives on his impressive velvety baritone voice and his deep love for soul, blues, and gospel. With just three albums, he became an indispensable force in the music business. In 2013, he was crowned "Rising Star" and "best singer," and his third album "Liquid Spirit" catapulted him to the top of the charts and earned him a Grammy. Today, he ranks among the most popular contemporary jazz artists worldwide, is a two-time Grammy winner, seven-time nominee, and has achieved over 1.6 billion streams.
With his catchy melodies that immediately captivate and move audiences, the exceptional singer with his velvety baritone voice enchants the castle courtyard together with his band. The Thurn and Taxis Castle Festival is among the most prestigious open-air festivals in the German festival summer and transforms the inner courtyard and park of the princely castle in Regensburg into an extraordinary stage for opera, classical music, pop, and crossover every July.
