Seven-time GRAMMY Award nominee Nnenna Freelon is a compelling artist and captivating performer with numerous accolades and activities including another GRAMMY Award nomination for 2021’s Time Traveler. With her son Pierce Freelon, they made GRAMMY history by being the first mother and son nominated for awards in separate categories. Their collaborative new recording, AnceStars, marks her first family music recording with Pierce.

Freelon’s new Podcast “Great Grief with Nnenna Freelon” garnered Ambie Awards in 2022 and 2021. She also received the 2022 Jazz Masters Award from the prestigious Women’s Jazz and Blues Association of Palm Springs. In 2023, Freelon continues to star alongside TAKE 6, Tom Scott, Kirk Whalum and Clint Holmes in the critically acclaimed show “Georgia on My Mind: Celebrating the Music of Ray Charles,” where she is no stranger to the music of the master singer – she toured with Ray Charles, as well as many other jazz legends including Al Jarreau, George Benson, Benny Golson, and Ellis Marsalis.
