Atlanta Jazz Festival 2016

Music Lineup Announced for the 2016 Atlanta Jazz Festival

Featuring Latin, Creole, Straight-Ahead and Hip-Hop Inspired Artists 

GREGORY PORTER

“We are excited about the lineup for this year’s Atlanta Jazz Festival,” says Camille Russell Love, Executive Director of the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs. “As our city becomes more international and our population younger, we are booking the festival to welcome these new audiences.  From the soulful groove of Gregory Porter, the hip-hop inspired brass of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, and the sensuous stylings of Brazilian songstress Eliane Elias, we’ve got a wide variety of jazz flavors on three stages. And admission is free! Make plans now to join us for the 39^th Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival in Piedmont Park over Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-29.”

#IndieMusic: Interview with Joy Ike on When We Speak

Around late 2012 (early 2013), I was introduced to music of Pittsburgh native, Joy Ike.  When I heard her sound, I was immediately a fan...... (See my blog about Joy Ike that I posted at that time, by clicking the pic below)

.....and now, almost a year later, I was afforded the opportunity to speak with the "SoulFolk" singer Joy Ike on When We Speak.  So please take a moment to watch our interview with Joy Ike and continue to support great artists.
