Lady Wray

A mainstay of the U.S. Billboard charts since the early 2000s, Nicole "Lady" Wray's clarion voice, potent storytelling, and deeply emotive performances evoke both the church-ready chanteuses of 70s soul and the Hip-Hop inflected R&B of the 90s. The Guardian calls Lady Wray's long-awaited third album Piece of Me, which boasts a recent remix from New York's own Pete Rock and a guest verse from Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah, "a classy retro-soul LP... steeped in experience, familial warmth and overcoming heartbreak." As part of the Festival of Firsts, Lady Wray makes her long overdue Lincoln Center debut with a bravura showcase of songs from Piece of Me interspersed with favorite covers and classic hits, all supported by a full live band packed with special guests.
