Montreal Jazz Festival
It’s official, Stevie Wonder will be kicking off this years’ Montreal Jazz Festival with a free outdoor concert. This will be Stevie’s first appearance at the festival. This year marks the 30TH anniversary of the infamous festival. The time has not been announced yet but I’m sure people will be there hours in advance to witness the event. I’m sure there will be all ages in attendance. Those of you like myself, in the late twenties to early thirties grew up listening to Mr. Wonder. Thanks to our parents influence. His music still lives on today. Many R&B artist looked up to Stevie Wonder as a mentor and you can hear it in their music. One that comes to mind is R&B sensation Ne-Yo.
Stay tuned for more details on this free concert and other events being held at the 2009 Montreal Jazz Festival.
