Billie Holiday at Carnegie Hall feat. Riketté Genesis — live event on Jul 30, 2025

Riketté Genesis live at Boisdale, Canary Wharf, London on Wed, Jul 30, 8:30 PM. Lineup, start time and tickets on Ckord.
Table reservations from 6pm | Live Music: 8:30pm Step into the smoky glow of 1950s New York as London’s own Riketté Genesis channels the spirit of Lady Day in this lovingly-crafted nod to Billie Holiday’s legendary 1956 Carnegie Hall concert. But this isn’t simply about the songs, it’s the stories too. Backed by an outstanding band led by pianist and musical director Alex Webb, Riketté weaves together Holiday’s most iconic songs with excerpts from her autobiography Lady Sings The Blues - just as Billie herself did that night at Carnegie Hall. Expect the sweet swing of “What A Little Moonlight Can Do” and the aching beauty of “I Cover The Waterfront”, right through to Holiday’s defiant, self-penned classics like “Don’t Explain” and the title song “Lady Sings The Blues”. Riketté Genesis has been making waves with her velvet vocals and love for the Swing era, recently releasing her gypsy jazz-inspired EP Busy Line. She’s lit up stages from the Southbank Centre and Wilderness Festival
