Gregory Porter
Consider this one of San Antonio’s concerts you should not miss this year. The amazing gospel singer, with a voice that could melt the iciest hearts, is backed by some damn good gospel and jazz instrumentation, his lyrics floating perfectly through the songs. Porter’s performances are a perfect example of what legendary singing should look like (from someone awarded a Grammy for best jazz vocal album, no less). Don’t miss this chance to catch someone who is truly one of the best vocalists of our time. 8pm Fri, $35, Carver Community Cultural Center, 226 N. Hackberry, (210) 207-2234, www.thecarver.org.
