Patti Austin

Patti Austin's career began the way few careers do: onstage at Harlem's Apollo Theater at age four, urged there by Dinah Washington herself. The daughter of jazz trombonist Gordon Austin, she was a teenage recording star by 1969, then one of New York's most in-demand session vocalists through the 1970s, heard behind Paul Simon, James Brown, and Diana Ross, before signing with her godfather Quincy Jones's Qwest label.

That partnership produced the GRAMMY-nominated hit "Baby Come To Me" with James Ingram and the Oscar-nominated "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" Her own For Ella earned a GRAMMY nomination, and Avant Gershwin brought her a GRAMMY win. Two decades touring the Great American Songbook have taken her across the U.S., Europe, and Australia, and her 2023 follow-up, For Ella 2, earned another GRAMMY nomination.

City Winery Nashville welcomes Austin for two shows, a rare chance to hear a genuine link to the golden era of American song, wine in hand and dinner on the table.

Doors open ahead of showtime for both performances. Reserve your seats now for a living piece of American music history.

🍽️ We provide food and beverage service directly to your table in the venue. Or, for an expanded menu and more relaxed experience, arrive early and enjoy a meal in our restaurant before the show. When dining in the restaurant, reservations are encouraged and can be made via Resy starting one month before the show. View Our Concert Dining Menu.(opens in a new tab)

Reserve your preferred wine by filling out this form(opens in a new tab) and have a bottle waiting at your table when you arrive at your show. No more waiting for your first drink! We will save your wine preference and have a bottle at your table for all future shows. When you want to change your wine, come back to this form and update your preference.

🎶 While we do not require a two-item food or beverage minimum, we strongly encourage it. Most ticket revenue goes directly to the artist and production costs, so food and drink purchases help support the staff, service, and atmosphere that make these intimate shows possible.

The good news: we think you’ll love the food and wine just as much as the show.
