Buddy Guy, at 89, continues to be a vibrant force in the blues scene, performing regularly at his Chicago club, celebrating his career, and striving to keep the blues alive as one of its last original icons, blending traditional roots with modern influences and inspiring a new generation of musicians.
The full schedule for the 2023 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival has been released, revealing tough headliner decisions and killer progressions. Buddy Guy returns to the main stage, while Ed Sheeran will have a high-profile warm-up for his stadium tour. Jon Batiste, the featured artist on the 2022 Jazz Fest’s commemorative poster, will headline the main Festival Stage on the second Friday. The festival pairs New Orleans’ glorious musical past with its still-vibrant present by scheduling one of the city’s living legends, Irma Thomas, on the main stage just ahead of Batiste.
