45th Annual Hampton Jazz Festival Announces Lineup
Event headliners Charlie Wilson, Kenny G, and Jill Scott. The 45th Annual Hampton Jazz
Festival (HJF) has announced the lineup of artists to perform at this year’s event. The Festival will take place over a three-day period at Hampton Coliseum on June 22, 23, 24 and will feature some of the greatest names in R&B, Soul and Smooth Jazz.
Friday’s show features the return
of one of the greatest entertainers in the business today, Charlie Wilson. His all-new show will certainly be a festival knockout punch. Joining Charlie will be Natalie Cole, one of the most important female singers alive today. Also appearing will be jazz Duo Norman Brown and Gerald Albright. Making his festival debut will be newcomer Alex Boyd, whose soon to be released single “Light Up Tonight” has already become an online hit.
The Best Bankers. Hometown Banking. TowneBank is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Saturday’s lineup features the
return of a festival favorite, Kenny G. Making her festival debut is R&B artist Monica, whose new album “New Life” has all the makings of a platinum level
hit. Also appearing Saturday will be recent Grammy-nominee Ledisi and Jazz/R&B crooner Will Downing.
Sunday’s show will feature the
fabulous Jill Scott. In the past few years, Jill has steadily climbed to the top of the female R&B genre, and will certainly be a wonderful closer for the 45th annual Hampton Jazz Festival. Festival favorite, KEM, will also appear as well as Dave Koz with special guest BeBe Winans. Rounding out Sunday will be a local jazz group, RaJazz, a favorite in the Tidewater area.
