Blue Note Entertainment Group and Black Radio Productions have revealed the lineup for their newly announced Napa Valley event, Blue Note Jazz festival Presents: The Black Radio Experience, hosted by Sway Calloway, August 30th through September 1st.
Inspired by the event's Artist in Residence — Grammy Award-winning pianist, artist, producer and jazz great Robert Glasper — The Black Radio Experience “is an immersive journey into the soul of music, pushing boundaries and celebrating the rich tapestry of black culture. the press release announcing its release explains.
“Each year our festival in Napa brings a unique atmosphere, and this year we're bringing you the Black Radio Experience over Labor Day weekend with a slate of artists for an exclusive lineup,” Glasper said in a statement.
Unlike new festival properties that have appeared in recent years, such as the Friends in Lovers festival in Las Vegas and Lionel Richie and Diana Ross's inaugural Fool In Love festival in Los Angeles – which features more than 100 artists spread across a huge festival venue – The Black Radio Experience is a smaller, intimate experience at The Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa. Headliners include John Legend, Jill Scott and André 3000 and performances by Andra Day, Common, Nile Rodgers, Ledisi and more.
“This year's event promises an even more boutique, intimate and exclusive atmosphere than ever before, showcasing an unparalleled caliber of iconic artists,” said Alex Kurland, Blue Note director of programming. “Robert Glasper's vision and inspiration set the tone and tone of the entire experience,” said Kurland.
The inaugural festival was held on June 1, 2011, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York. In 2022, a Napa Valley Blue Note Jazz festival was launched at Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena.
The next Black Radio Experience event will feature three full days of performances on two stages and a cavernous wine bar with musical icons set against the backdrop of Napa Valley. The event will feature Chef Darryl Bell's 'In the Vineyard' Stateline Road Smokehouse, where he combines his Kansas City roots with Michelin training and access to Napa Valley's newest flagship steakhouse, Ember Steak, for all three days of event and with more exclusive food. experiences to come.
