Stevie Wonder to headline NO Jazz Fest

It is not the first time for Stevie Wonder to perform at New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, yet it is the first time he is going to headline the event. The Louisiana Fest brings some unforgettable music, along with traditional cuisine of the region and crafts from all over the world. It is only 90 days left till this year's Jazz Fest as it is held over two weekends April 25-27 and May 1-4 at Fair Grounds Race Course located 10 minutes from famous French Quarter. Organizers will install 11 stages in the location together with tents for over 1,000 performers. Besides Stevie Wonder headliners include The Neville brothers, Billy Joel, Sheryl Crow, Tim McGraw, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Keyshia Cole, Al Green, The Raconteurs and others. And of course Jazz Fest veterans Santana, Dr. John and Jimmy Buffet. The last time Wonder performed at the Fest was in 1973 together with the Meters, founded by Art Neville. This year he will perform on May 2. Among his hits are "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours}", "I Just Called to Say I Love You", "My Cherie Amour", "Superstition". "Over the past 20 years he hasn't really been touring, so we feel really fortunate," said Quint Davis, the producer of the festival.
