Corrine Bailey Rae Set to Enthrall Santa Cruz at the Rio Theatre

SANTA CRUZ

Corrine Bailey Rae enthusiasts in Santa Cruz are in for a treat this Friday as the acclaimed neo-soul artist from Leeds, England, graces the stage at the Rio Theatre. Rather than enjoying her tunes on their turntables, fans will have the opportunity to witness her live performance, filled with her eclectic mix of soul, jazz, and rock tunes.

A Musical Journey with Corrine Bailey Rae

Since her eponymous debut album in 2006, Corrine Bailey Rae has earned considerable praise for her exploration across various music genres. Her breakthrough single, "Put Your Records On," propelled her into the spotlight, affirming her presence with a Grammy nomination and a performance on 'Saturday Night Live.' Her song's revival through Ritt Momney's cover in 2020 was sandwiched between two Grammy wins, one for her rendition of Joni Mitchell's "River" with Herbie Hancock and another for her cover of Bob Marley’s "Is This Love." Rae’s ability to blend diverse genres is on full display in her latest work, "Black Rainbows," which features an intriguing combination of soul, jazz, and even garage rock, as heard in tracks like "New York Transit Queen."

The concert promises a vibrant showcase of Rae’s versatile talents, where she’s set to perform an array of hits that speak to her artistic journey. Fans can expect an unforgettable night with Rae’s soul-stirring melodies at the Rio Theatre.

For those looking to attend, the Rio Theatre opens its doors at 7 PM with the concert beginning at 8 PM. Ticket prices are set at $52.50 for standard entry and $68.25 for Gold Circle access.
