Step into a world of musical liberation with Lady Blackbird, whose soaring, cinematic voice embodies freedom and transformation. Since her critically acclaimed 2021 debut Black Acid Soul, she’s captivated audiences with a sound that spans jazz, soul, gospel, rock, and pop. With her upcoming album, Slang Spirituals, Lady Blackbird takes her artistry to new heights, weaving deeply personal lyrics into a powerful soundtrack of self-acceptance and resilience.

From the soulful orchestral swells of “Let Not (Your Heart Be Troubled)” to the empowering gospel anthems like “Like A Woman,” Lady Blackbird’s music is a celebration of becoming—finding one’s true self and embracing it unapologetically. Collaborating once again with producer Chris Seefried, she blends raw vulnerability with genre-defying sounds, creating a sonic journey that resonates universally.

Raised in a religious household, Lady Blackbird’s path to musical stardom was anything but linear. Her journey of breaking free from labels and expectations has shaped her into the radiant artist she is today. Live on stage, she transforms every performance into a cathartic celebration, leaving audiences enraptured and empowered. Don’t miss Lady Blackbird’s electrifying tour—a musical journey like no other.
