From the iconic Beach Boys, who helped lay the groundwork for modern music, to the masters of jazz, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, along with a unique collaboration between world-music superstars Amadou & Mariam and gospel legends The Blind Boys of Alabama, our headliners really set the tone for the assortment of styles on display at this year’s event.”
