Andra Day Concert Schedule and Tour
In the wake of her stellar 2015 album debut and two GRAMMY nominations, Andra Day has critics bowing down -- and she's more than worthy of the praise. Few soul and R&B singers have arrived on the scene in recent memory with as much promise, personality, and effortless style as Day, whose incredible voice and '60s pinup girl look have made her a fast favorite with fans. In concert Day reaches deep to deliver profoundly emotional performances, and her velvety voice never falters as she sings to the rafters on empowering anthems like "Rise Up" and throwback jams like "Forever Mine". With a spring headlining tour and a summer stint opening for Leon Bridges going down in 2016, Day has ticket buyers lining up to see her strut her stuff in concert.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Washington-born Andra Day, aka Cassandra Monique "Andra" Batie, studied voice at a performing arts high school in San Diego. She spent the years after graduation gigging around Southern California and singing in videos aired on CBSnew.com and Vans.com, but she didn't garner serious attention until 2012 when her cover of Jessie J's "Mamma Knows Best" went viral on YouTube. Warner Bros. Records quickly signed her, and soon after she began working on her debut album with coveted producers Adrian Gurvitz and Raphael Saadiq. Day began promoting the album in early 2015, and Spike Lee was so impressed with her performance at that year's Sundance Film Festival that he signed on to direct the video for her debut single "Forever Mine". The track thoroughly impressed critics, earning heaps of praise from NPR and landing Day on Rolling Stone's July 2015 list of "10 New Artists You Need to Know". A few months later her long-awaited debut album Cheers to the Fall finally dropped, cracking the Top 10 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and eventually earning Day 2 GRAMMY nominations for Best R&B Album and Best R&B Performance ("Rise Up").
Her new song with Common “Stand Up For Something” from the feature film Marshall is inspiring her fans to use the hashtag #STANDUPFORSOMETHING for a chance to be featured on her website.

Powerful. Gave me chills, was only disappointed that she did not sing “rise up”
Beautifully, soulful voice! Feels the music and great chats between the songs. Loved the backup singers as well.
Andra Day has a unique, awesome voice. Great show!
First time experiencing Andra in person and I was very pleased. She was phenomenal! I was elated to witness Chloe and her sister Halle, they are a group to keep your eye on. Both are rising stars.
This was my second time seeing Andra Day live in Atlanta, and she was just as amazing this time as the last. Her voice is so rich and powerful! I also loved the intimate setting of Tabernacle. If you ever get the opportunity, go see her live!
From the incredibly talented sister-duo opening act, Chloe + Halle, to Andra herself, this wa a jawdroppingly great concert. Ms. Day is likely to go far given her killer voice, charming & charismatic personality, and overall stage presence, not to mention her beautiful music.
The venue was great and glad it was on a Monday night so the area was not crowded and we managed to park right out front of the venue in Boston! First time seeing Andra Day live and she was outstanding. Her vocals are incredible and she was interacting with the crowd and everyone loved her and was having a good time.
Andra Day is crazy talented. She effortlessly moves between a variety of musical stylings. She left it all out on the floor Monday night.
LOVED the performance. Her opening act, Sugar Symphony, has beautiful energy and voices. Andra day is an amazing performer, engaging the audience and a stunningly BEAUTIFUL voice!!! My far one of my favorite performances.
