Grammy-winning jazz singer Gregory Porter had a to-do list before hitting the road: Paint the fence and chop down some trees.
"The way I stay grounded is by cleaning out my gutters and reorganizing the garage, changing diapers," he said recently from Bakersfield, California, a day before his tour started. "I'm just a regular dude."
There were other issues to deal with, including his organist missing the first two nights of the tour because of COVID symptoms. The singer takes COVID precautions seriously, especially after one of his brothers died of the coronavirus in 2020.
