Schedule

UTC+01:00Location
Boisdale Restaurants (Canary Wharf) | London, EN
New Orleans-born Acantha Lang brings the music of Gladys Knight into sharp, soulful focus with a voice that’s earned nods from BBC 6 Music, Classic Rock and Jools Holland himself. There’s no mistaking her sound: richly textured, gospel-inflected, and delivered with a calm command that makes you stop what you’re doing and just listen.Her 2023 debut album Beautiful Dreams received a Grammy nomination and appeared on several ones-to-watch lists, thanks to its blend of classic soul foundations and contemporary lyrical bite. She has performed at both Harlem’s Apollo Theatre and Ronnie Scott’s in London, and her deep musical grounding shines through every note.
Backed by a razor-sharp eight-piece band, she’ll take on some of the finest gems in Gladys Knight’s catalogue. Expect “Midnight Train to Georgia”, “Neither One of Us”, “If I Were Your Woman” and “Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me”, delivered with clarity, style and serious musical depth.
As Blues & Soul Magazine put it, she’s “a soul singer of the highest order.” That’s not hyperbole, just fact. Come and hear it for yourself.
