Lady Blackbird: The Slang Spirituals Tour
2025-04-08 19:30 | Holland Performing Arts Center, 1200 Douglas St, Omaha, NE, 68102, United States
Lady Blackbird’s music is a rich blend of jazz, soul, and blues, marked by her hauntingly powerful vocals and emotive delivery. Drawing inspiration from icons like Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, her sound feels both timeless and modern, with a raw, soulful intensity that captivates.
In every Lady Blackbird song is the unmistakable sound of freedom. Harnessing a mighty voice that effortlessly embodies buffeting power, heartrending yearning and soft, whispered balladry, Lady Blackbird has imbued her compositions since 2021’s critically acclaimed debut Black Acid Soul with a journeying independence. Hers is an instantly-recognizable sound capable of evoking joy one moment and heartache the next.
In her latest album Slang Spirituals, she embraces the full breadth of that musical freedom in her most personal and ambitious work to date.
“This is my journey of becoming,” she explains. “It’s me rewriting the book to show the world who I truly am. From being labelled a sinner to finding my acceptance.”
