Tonight’s Concert Pick: WXPN Welcomes Norah Jones to the Mann Center

Ten years ago Norah Jones stepped into the light and became one of the the world’s most popular and critically respected singer/songwriters. Winner of eight grammy awards for her album Come Away with Me, she has since released four more albums, including her latest Little Broken Hearts, that was produced by the prolific and talented Danger Mouse. Jones blends together jazz, blues, rock, and pop into delicate, sensual songs that embody her versatile and creative songwriting skills. After the release of her album in May, she played a Free at Noon at WXPN’s annual Non-Comm. You can listen to her performance here. Tonight, we welcome her back to Philadelphia with a performance at the Mann Center with special guest Sasha Dobson. Tickets are $29.50-59.50, the show starts at 7:30 PM. Below, watch the official video for “Little Pills” off the new album.
