Macy Gray at Blue Note Los Angeles

Macy Gray has one of the most recognizable voices in pop: gravelly, cracked and impossible to mistake for anyone else. Right after Christmas she settles into Blue Note Los Angeles for two nights, which makes a small Hollywood club a fine place to spend a holiday-week evening and an easy pick among concerts in Los Angeles this winter.

When: Saturday, December 26 and Sunday, December 27, 2026, 7 PM listed start each night Where: Blue Note Los Angeles, 6372 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 Tickets: $18.91-$101.13 on TicketWeb, depending on the night and seating

Who is Macy Gray

Gray broke through in 1999 with "I Try," a slow, aching soul single that turned her into a household name and won her a Grammy. Her sound sits in the space between classic soul, R&B and a little funk, carried by a phrasing that bends every line her own way. She has kept recording and touring for more than two decades, and her live shows tend to lean on that loose, conversational energy rather than a polished arena script.

What to expect at Blue Note

Blue Note Los Angeles is the West Coast outpost of the jazz club brand, and it books plenty of R&B and soul besides. It is a sit-down room with table and bar service, so the stage is never far away, and a singer like Gray benefits from that closeness. Prices on the ticket pages run from $18.91 to $101.13, which usually reflects the difference between bar-area and table seats. The listings do not name an opening act, and we could not confirm set times, door time or an age policy, so check the ticket page you buy from for those before you go.

Two separate TicketWeb pages are listed for the run, one linked from this post for each of the cited dates, so confirm the night printed on your ticket matches the night you plan to attend.

Getting there

The club sits on Sunset Boulevard in the middle of Hollywood, a short drive from the 101 and surrounded by restaurants. An early dinner nearby fits a 7 PM start. Street parking is metered and tight on weekends, so allow extra time for a garage or use a rideshare.

If you are scanning things happening in Hollywood over the holidays, this is a relaxed option that does not need a late night. For more nights like it, browse the concerts category or see what else is on in Hollywood.
