The New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) proudly presents Avery Sunshine, the extraordinary singer-songwriter whose music has captivated global audiences. Following her massive success at the 2025 awards season, Avery Sunshine is scheduled to perform live in Newark on Friday, January 16, 2026, at 8 PM.

The concert serves as a celebration of Avery Sunshine’s recent GRAMMY® win, where she was honored with the award for Best Progressive R&B Album for her latest project, So Glad to Know You. Known for a voice that is smooth, vibrant, and filled with power, Avery blends ’90s R&B, gospel, jazz, and neo-soul with contemporary lyrics to create a sound that perfectly embodies her name.

A Career Defined by Soul and Success

Born Denise White in Chester, Pennsylvania, Avery’s musical roots began in the church. Alongside her Grammy Award-winning creative partner, Dana “BigDane” Johnson, she has crafted a signature soulful R&B style that has earned praise from industry legends:

• Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, and Berry Gordy, and Boy George have all lauded her vocal prowess.

• Her hit single “Call My Name” reached #1 on the Billboard charts, earning the ASCAP Rhythm and Soul Song of the Year Award.

Avery’s career milestones include sold-out international shows, a UK tour opening for B.B. King, and four top 20 Billboard hits in the Hot Adult R&B category. As a Yamaha Entertainment endorsed artist, she has become a staple of the modern R&B and soul scene, known for her humorous stage banter and uplifting anthems about love and life.
