Lady Wray

LADY WRAY. The Memorial Union’s Jazz Series presents Virginia-born singer Lady Wray, whose sound harkens back to the best of late ’90s R&B. Her new album, Piece of Me, released on Brooklyn’s Big Crown records, showcases her R&B style with a heavy dose of soul, but you’ll hear boom-bap-smacked drums and chunky basslines front-and-center. “My goal is always to help and to heal people with singing,” Lady Wray explains. “Part of that is to try and bring back real music, real singing, so people can feel something again.”  UW Memorial Union Play Circle, 800 Langdon St.  8pm.  Tickets $10-46.
