POTSDAM -- Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist Gregory Porter, who will perform in Potsdam Jan. 23, will appear tonight on the ABC-tv show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

The show begins at 11:35 p.m. on WWTI-tv, shown locally on cable channel 13.

Porter opens the Community Performance Series 2014 Guest Artist Series 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23 in SUNY Potsdam’s Hosmer Concert Hall.

His 2013 album “Liquid Spirit” earned a Grammy nomination for Best Vocal Jazz Album. The track “Hey Laura” has been nominated for Best Traditional R&B Performance. That makes for four Grammy nods in four years for Porter.

Porter had his first breakthrough with his 2010 album “Water,” and “Liquid Spirit” has critics raving. The New York Times called it “soulful and assured,” and the album made many best-of lists.

In Potsdam, Porter will be joined by the original band members from “Liquid Spirit.” The artists include pianist Chip Crawford, percussionist Emanuel Harrold, bassist Aaron James and saxophonist Yosuke Sato. The band has been together since their first jam sessions took place at Harlem’s storied St. Nick’s Pub just a few years ago.

Tickets to the Potsdam performance can be purchased through the CPS Box Office in SUNY Potsdam’s new Performing Arts Center, or at Northern Music & Video in downtown Potsdam. Tickets can also be purchased by calling 267-2277, or by visiting www.cpspotsdam.org.
