Music at the Intersection festival has announced who will be joining them at the Grand Center Arts District in St. Louis on Sept. 10 and 11. The event will celebrate the city's musical and artistic heritage by welcoming a wide array of blues, jazz, soul, R&B, hip-hop and rock-and-roll acts to their six stages.
“Every year, our aim is to make this festival more accessible, diverse and multi-dimensional,” said executive director of Kranzberg Arts Foundation Chris Hansen, in a release. “In addition to the blues, jazz and heritage genre, which was the core of our lineup last year, we have national to local acts across everything from hip hop and R&B to indie rock, soul and funk. Between acts, attendees can wander the festival’s new outdoor footprint and enjoy local food offerings, unique amusements, live art activations and shopping with local vendors. An attendee may buy a ticket with a favorite like Erykah Badu, Buddy Guy or The Urge, in mind, but that ticket gets them access to an incredible, dynamic urban music experience – and we hope they explore it all.”
Erykah Badu will act as the festival's headliner on Saturday, Sept. 10, which will also see performances by Hiatus Kaiyote, Kamasi Washington, Rose Royce, The Urge, Keyon Harrold presents “Jazz & The Birth of Hip-Hop” with special guests BJ The Chicago Kid, Murphy Lee and Kyjuan of St. Lunatics and more.
On Sunday, Sept. 11, bluesman Gary Clark Jr. will headline. In addition, the day will feature fellow blues champion Buddy Guy and jazz icons Robert Glasper and Terrace Martin. In addition, music at the Intersection will welcome jam legend Oteil Burbridge and his friends Eric Krasno, Steve Kimock, Melvin Seals and John Kimock, on Sunday, along with George Porter Jr. & Dumpstaphunk performing The Meters, John Scofield, Joe Louis Walker, Southern Avenue, Celisse, Taylor McFerrin and many more.
Music at the Intersection is presented by the Kranzenberg Arts Foundation in partnership with the Stewart Family Foundation and The Regional Arts Commission (RAC) of St. Louis.
