Jane Handcock

Immerse yourself in a night of refined, elegant R&B as five-time Emmy Award winner Jane Handcock takes the stage at the iconic Blue Note Los Angeles. The vibe is one of unflinching honesty and soulful sophisticated—a “breakdown to build-up” journey that captures the essence of a visionary artist laying her soul bare. It is an invitation to experience the “first lady of Death Row Records” in an intimate Hollywood setting, where the legacy of classic R&B meets a savvy, contemporary edge.

An Oakland native and a powerhouse songwriter who has collaborated with industry legends like Raphael Saadiq, Snoop Dogg, and Kelly Rowland, Jane Handcock brings a hypnotic and commanding presence to every performance. Known for her “lone wolf” creative process and searingly personal storytelling, her music—as heard on her most accomplished work to date, It’s Me, Not You—blends punchy drums with lush, breathy vocals that float over subtle grooves. It is a welcoming and high-caliber gathering for those who appreciate authentic, melodic storytelling from a Grammy-nominated talent at the top of her craft.

P.S. A second performance will be offered at 9:30 PM.
