*SOLD OUT* Durand Bernarr

Durand Bernarr is a GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and creative visionary, earning his first GRAMMY Award for Best Progressive R&B Album for BLOOM. The album received three GRAMMY nominations including Best Progressive R&B Album, Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Here We Are” and Best R&B Song for “Overqualified,” establishing BLOOM as one of the most critically celebrated R&B projects of the year. The New York Times called Bernarr’s win “one of the most joyous moments of the GRAMMY pre-show,” spotlighting a career milestone shaped by a 20-year independent journey and a fearless commitment to authenticity.

Following the award win, BLOOM delivered immediate impact, with BLOOM surging on Spotify and earning widespread acclaim. Billboard praised BLOOM as “a towering achievement,” noting that it “consciously expands the scope of Bernarr’s already wide ranging sound,” further cementing his position as a leading voice in contemporary R&B. Known for genre bending brilliance and theatrical command, Bernarr blends classic soul tradition with forward looking artistry, drawing comparisons to Luther Vandross, Little Richard, and Rahsaan Patterson. His rise has also been recognized by Rolling Stone, who coined him an “Artist to Know.”


Bernarr’s influence extends far beyond a single release. He is a GLAAD Award winner for Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist and a current nominee for Outstanding Music Artist, with a catalog that includes the GRAMMY nominated visual EP En Route. His live presence has been showcased on The Tamron Hall Show, COLORSxSTUDIOS, and a viral Tiny Desk concert hailed as a masterclass in live performance, while the YOU GON GROW, TOO! TOUR attracted star-filled audiences across the US and internationally.
Praised for genre bending brilliance and theatrical command, Bernarr blends classic soul tradition with fearless futurism. Often compared to Luther Vandross, Little Richard, and Rahsaan Patterson, he has been recognized by Rolling Stone as an Artist to Know. His catalog includes the GRAMMY nominated visual EP En Route, earlier projects Sound Check and DUR&, and standout performances on The Tamron Hall Show, COLORSxSTUDIOS, and a viral Tiny Desk concert praised as a masterclass in live performance.

Currently in the studio recording the deluxe edition of BLOOM, Bernarr continues to meet rising demand onstage, marked by two sold out Blue Note shows on April 29 and a standout performance at Netflix Is A Joke on May 6. Beyond music, he is the 2025 GLAAD Media Award winner for Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist and a current nominee for Outstanding Music Artist, underscoring an artist whose cultural impact and live appeal continue to grow.

Belly Room


With the help of Yondr bags, we at the Comedy Store create phone-free spaces for artists and comedians.  

What that means: Upon arrival at the venue, all phones and smart watches are placed in Yondr cases and will be unlocked at the end of the show. Guests maintain possession of these items at all times. Guests may also access their phones at any time only in the designated Phone Use Areas throughout the venue. All phones will be re-secured upon returning to the event space.

Anyone seen using a device during the performance in a non-designated area will be escorted out of the venue by security. We appreciate your cooperation in creating a phone-free viewing experience.
