Lizz Wright, who launched a new independent record company, Blues & Greens Records, in June with the release of a live album, “Holding Space” capturing a performance in Berlin, heads to the Dakota this evening. The groovy album, recorded pre-pandemic, makes you wish you were at the concert in person. It includes Wright’s fantastic cover of Neil Young’s “Old Man.” At the Dakota, the jazz and gospel singer with a smooth, low voice, is performing with piano/organ. Wright has released multiple solo albums, and has the distinction of earning the interest of Minneapolis’ own Prince. In 2010, late Artscape writer Pamela Espeland noted on her blog, Bebopified, that Prince reportedly attended her performance with the Minnesota Orchestra. Prince also attended Wright’s performance at the Dakota two days before he died. (MINNPOST)
