Wednesday October 04, 2006
The VOODOO MUSIC EXPERIENCE takes the term musical diversity to a whole new level with this year’s eclectic line-up. In addition to heavy-hitting headliners, ranging from the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Flaming Lips to Duran Duran, this year’s weekend-long concert will build upon the relationship forged with WWOZ (the essential local, yet world renowned) last year post Hurricane Katrina, further ensuring that there truly will be something to please music fans of all genres.
The announcement of the local line-up brings the number of performance areas to five for the annual event that has been described by AOL as New Orleans’ “signature rock festival” and “one of the top 10 music festivals in the US.”
But this year, it’s about more than rock.
The latest addition to VOODOO is Flambeau, an area designed and dedicated to celebrating and passing the torch of New Orleans’ musical culture and celebrating its influences. Flambeau features two performance areas: The WWOZ/SOCO Stage and the Preservation Hall Tent, as well as six full service local restaurants, an expanded New Orleans Arts and Crafts area and a musical line-up that includes The Meters, Yerba Buena, Ozomatli, Irma Thomas, Marva Wright’s tribute to Mahalia Jackson, Kinky, Kermit Ruffins and the BBQ Swingers, Trombone Shorty and Orleans Ave, The Preservation Hall Band, The Soul Rebels, Amanda Shaw, The Brand New Heavies, Jon Cleary, Otra, Morning 40 Federation, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, The Hot 8 Brass Band, Wild Magnolia’s featuring Bo Dollis, Ernie Vincent, Rockie Charles, Wardelll Quezerque’s, The New Orleans Rhythm and Blues Review, the Rhythm Roots Drum Circle and a special tribute by New Orleans’ iconic act Cowboy Mouth.
The new Preservation Hall Tent, along with the WWOZ-SoCo stage, brings a bit of history to the relatively new, eight-year old festival. WWOZ will be broadcasting the weekend festivities to local listeners and around the world on the web http://www.wwoz.org
