Aretha Franklin, Wilco, Erykah Badu headline New Orleans Jazz Fest
Posted by Wade Tatangelo on Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 5:34 PM
My favorite yearly music bash, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Fest, just announced its lineup for 2009 and I'm stoked about Aretha Franklin headlining the second weekend, April 30-May 3, which I annually attend. I've never seen the Queen of Soul and can't imagine a better place than the Big Easy for it to finally happen.
Other acts on my must-see list for that weekend include Tony Bennett, The Neville Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Common, Emmylou Harris (huge fan, never seen her before), Dr. John, Buddy Guy, Los Lobos, Toots & the Maytals, Allen Toussaint, John Mayall (he's pretty cool live), Solomon Burke, Doc Watson, Jakob Dylan (more out of curiosity), Chuck Brown, Guy Clark, Cedric Burnside & Lightnin' Malcolm.
Check out some of my Jazz Fest coverage from last year.
Soul Rebels, which I wrote about last year while at Jazz Fest, and other killer New Orleans acts after the jump.
The Crescent City acts I plan to squeeze into my schedule during the weekend: Soul Rebels, Radiators Aaron Neville, Tab Benoit & the Wetland Allstars, Ellis Marsalis, Kermit Ruffins & the Barbecue Swingers, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Walter "Wolfman" Washington & the Roadmasters, the subdudes, Irvin Mayfield & the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, Bonerama.

I'm not seeing the Midnite Disturbers on your list of must sees. Trust me, add them. All-star brass band put together by Stanton Moore (Galactic); you'll get Trombone Shorty, Skerik, Mark Mullins, Big Sam, and more. They played 1st weekend last year, in a downpour at the small Jazz and Heritage stage. Highlight of the fest for many--me included. Also check out Bobby Lounge, John Boutte, Eddie Bo. And you've got to at least do a walk-by to see what Theresa Andersson is wearing. I'm going second weekend too; missing out on Drive By Truckers with Booker T. Jones as well as Kinky.
