Erin Stevenson

Erin Stevenson plays Middle C Jazz on Saturday, October 17, at 8:30 PM. She's a smooth jazz vocalist who's been working her way up the charts for a few years now, and this is a headlining date in Charlotte.

If you haven't come across her yet, the numbers from the last couple of years tell the story. In 2024, she drew three Grammy considerations and was nominated for Smooth Jazz Breakout Artist of the Year. Before that, she spent a good deal of time on the big stages, opening for or backing names like Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, Duran Duran, Boney James, John Legend, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, Dave Koz, Rihanna, and Stevie Wonder. It's a long list of pop and R&B heavyweights, and it gives you a sense of the circles she's been moving in.

Her own recordings have come in steady since she started. Her debut album, Naked, came out in November 2017, and the 2018 single "Hangin" hit the top 10 on the UK charts. In 2021, the singles "Never Too Much" and "You Gotta Be" earned her a People's Choice Indie Soul Award. Most recently, she put out a new single, "Say Something," in March 2026, so there's fresh material in the mix alongside the older stuff.

General admission tickets are $51.15, and Baby Grand member tickets are $41.95. The show starts at 8:30 PM, but the doors open at 7:45 PM, and craft cocktails and small plates are available from that time if you want to get settled before she takes the stage.
