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.
From the very first time I heard Ms. Day's voice streaming through my Tidal app I was hooked! Having the opportunity to see her in person made it official! She is the real deal and her songs will touch you!
Even though the venues sound system was not the best it did not matter. Andra Day's vocal abilities made up for it. I had not heard alot of her songs but she moved us still. Great show, awesome talent and she is going to be a superstar so I was glad to see her in a smaller setting.
Her voice, her presence, & her set was amazing. Then she killed us with the duet with the guy on keys
Love that she was transparent by stripping off her make to perform No Makeup. Her vocals are amazing and she exudes such positive energy and humbleness.
I love Andra Day! Her voice is so amazing and pure!
The entire show was unforgettable, from the beginning to the end. Opening act, her band, her voice...just everything. So glad that I had the opportunity to see her live. I would definitely do it again!
It is fairly rare now to find an artist who sings live exact same as she does on record. Andra Day is one of those rarities. Her song were amazing. More beautiful though were her interpretations of other artists' songs. Her interpretation of Mississippi Goddamn by Nina Simone was amazing. If you appreciate beautiful voices and talent, I do not recommend missing her show.
Don't miss this opportunity! Andra Day and her band were by far the most incredible, touching performers I've ever seen. Regardless of time or place she's worth making the time to see!!! Thanks Andra for such an amazing evening!
Who knew that this show at this tiny venue would be one of the best shows of the year? I had first heard of Andra when she was the voice of a song at the end of a great documentary about mountain climbing called Meru. I liked her so much with her nod to a Amy Winehouse voice styling so much that I looked her up and bought her recording Andra Day, online. I dig every song. Now you never know what you are going to get with an act that appears to be new and breaking out. It was a Sunday night and I was yawning in line outside the Rickshaw Stop. I even told my partner in the SOLD OUT queue that if someone came up and offered to buy our tickets that I would sell them. I'm in my 50's now and the prospect of going home to my robe and watching Penny Dreadful sounded so much better than a small club filled with people. I'm so glad I persevered. WHAT A SHOW!!!! Not only did Ms. Day perform every song from her generous first album, but she honoured us with a re-working of Nina Simone's 'Mississippi Goddam'. She did a Bob Marley reggae medley as well right up front that got the crowd stirred up. Afterwards we commented on how 90% of live shows never get near to the quality of sound on the recordings. This is usually due to the space, the talent of the band/performer or the arrangements they offer. Andrea Day and her AMAZING young band surpassed every recorded song and changed up the arrangements so that every song had a new life of it's own. I told him she could take this show to a place like Vegas and sell it out...forever, just like it is. Word would catch on and she be rocketed....but that's gonna happen anyway.
I saw Andra Day at this intimate venue. The was fantastic, I mean electric, I mean totally unforgettable. What's even nicer was that I was standing six feet away from the stage. When she becomes big and starts to sell out stadiums, I will remember today when I stood within arms length of this beautiful singer pouring her heart out to me.
Will be a superstar one day. Amazing performance and beautiful song covers
I've been to every time of concert, from Beyonce to Mariah Carey and to be as close I was to Andra Day was simply amazing. Her voice live was so beautiful. By far the best concert ever!!
