Ravyn Lenae with Lexa Gates

Chicago-born singer-songwriter Ravyn Lenae brings her evolving blend of R&B, pop, indie, jazz, reggae, and rock to the stage on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, with Lexa Gates joining the lineup. Doors open at 7:00 pm, with the show beginning at 8:00 pm. The venue and city are not specified in the provided event details.

Ravyn Lenae first began releasing music in the late 2010s, quickly establishing herself as a distinctive voice with a style that resists easy categorization. Her early run of EPs culminated in 2018’s Crush, whose standout single “Sticky” introduced her music to a wider audience. In 2022, she expanded that foundation with HYPNOS, her critically acclaimed debut album on Atlantic Records, featuring production from artists including Steve Lacy, Monte Booker, and KAYTRANADA.

Her sophomore album, Bird’s Eye, arrived in 2024 and drew heavily from Lenae’s memories and experiences growing up in Chicago. Executive produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dahi, the album moves fluidly between contemporary R&B, pop, indie, reggae, jazz, and rock. Its breakout track, “Love Me Not,” has surpassed one billion global streams and earned Lenae her first Top 5 appearance on the Billboard Hot 100.

The momentum continued into 2025, when Lenae made appearances at Coachella and Lollapalooza, performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and completed a sold-out four-show residency at New York’s Blue Note Jazz Club. She also embarked on sold-out North American and UK/EU headline tours and appeared on select arena dates with Reneé Rapp and Sabrina Carpenter.

Now, with her third studio album, Blue Island, scheduled for release on August 7, 2026, the September 16 performance offers fans an opportunity to hear Lenae’s newest material alongside the songs that established her as one of contemporary R&B’s most compelling artists. With Lexa Gates opening the evening, the event promises a showcase of two emerging voices bringing fresh perspectives to modern music.
