The New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) is thrilled to announce “John Legend: An Evening of Songs and Stories,” taking place on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. This unique concert offers fans a rare, intimate look at the 13-time Grammy winner’s life and career. Legend will perform stripped-back renditions of his most iconic hits, including “All of Me,” “Ordinary People,” and “Tonight,” while sharing the personal stories behind the music.

An EGOT Legend and Creative Visionary

As one of only 19 people in the prestigious EGOT club (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony), John Legend stands as one of the most versatile entertainers of all time. His career spans over two decades and includes 11 studio albums, ranging from his 2004 debut Get Lifted to his recent 2024 release, My Favorite Dream.

Legend’s influence extends far beyond the recording studio:

• Television: A beloved coach on NBC’s The Voice, Legend will return to the red chair for Season 29.

• Production: His company, Get Lifted Film Co., has produced hits like Netflix’s Rhythm & Flow and the Emmy-winning documentary 1000% Me: Growing Up Mixed.

• Entrepreneurship: He recently launched the skincare brand Loved01 and the premium dog lifestyle brand Kismet.

Advocacy and Social Impact: A dedicated social justice advocate, Legend founded FREEAMERICA in 2015 to address mass incarceration and criminal justice reform.
