Event Description

Longevity relies on progression. A lasting catalog evolves with its creator, growing, changing, and expanding in tandem to the artist. Once again, platinum-selling and critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, actress, and activist Vivian Green continues to progress six albums into her illustrious career on the aptly titled, VGVI [Make Noise/Caroline]—pronounced “vee-gee-six.” Driven by the show-stopping voice that enchanted millions upon her emergence with 2002’s gold-certified debut A Love Story, the record sees the songstress tread new territory yet again.

“I wanted to do something brighter and more upbeat,” she reveals. “If a song was sad, it needed to have a certain attitude, energy, and life to it. I’ve done sad songs. I love them, of course. However, I wanted to evolve.”

That evolution began with the release of 2015’s Vivid. Going Top 10, the album earned her highest chart entry in over a decade on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart, garnered acclaim from Vibe and YouKnowIGotSoul, and yielded a bona fide hit in the form of “Get Right Back To My Baby.”

Vivian wasted no time getting right back into the studio to record what would become VGVI with producer Kwamé.

“We wanted to continue what we started with Vivid and take it to another level of synergy as far as us working on an entire project for the second consecutive time around,” she goes on. “We thought about what we did on the last one and how we could do it better. We also didn’t wait around. I usually have long breaks between albums—not this time.”

All indoor guests of City Winery will temporarily need to provide proof of vaccine and wear masks indoors when moving throughout public areas.
