Jazz Fest 2005 by Chris Goodyear |
Superfly Productions is proud to announce the 2006 "Superfly during Jazzfest" concert series. Series events will take place from Friday, April 28 through Saturday, May 6 at several New Orleans venues, including the Contemporary Arts Center (site of the earliest Superfly shows), The Republic, Riverboat Cajun Queen, DBA, and the Maple Leaf Bar. Confirmed shows are listed below, with additional shows to be announced soon. As usual, the festival's 10th annual installment will present top national talent alongside some of the best acts from New Orleans' rich music scene.
Conceived in 1997, the Superfly during Jazzfest Concert Series eventually attracted thousands of fans from all over the country, and became the foundation for such iconic national events as the Bonnaroo and Vegoose music festivals. The popular series has presented live music fans with creative entertainment options throughout the past nine festival seasons, and will continue to offer memorable events despite the hurricane damage endured by many of its usual venues. "It has been particularly difficult to plan events in New Orleans this year," says series co-founder Rick Farman, "but we feel strong ties to the community where we started up, and we are excited to celebrate our 10th anniversary year there." Superfly acknowledges its presenting sponsor, StubHub, for making the 2006 series possible and for providing a marketplace for fans to buy and sell tickets for all Superfly events.
Superfly During Jazzfest 2006 will include two special performances at the renovated Contemporary Arts Center: A show on Friday, May 5, with Gov't Mule, Galactic, and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and one on Saturday, May 6, presenting the Meters (original lineup) and Robert Randolph & the Family Band. As usual, the festival will be the birthplace of a great musical alliance: the 2006 series will include a performance on April 28 by "Garage a Medeski," featuring members of Garage a Trois (Stanton Moore, Mike Dillon and Skerik) with special guest John Medeski. Superfly is also in the process of creating a new charity event, the Frenchmen Street Fest. The all-day concert will take place on Thursday, May 4 in Washington Square Park in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood. The lineup and beneficiaries will be announced soon.
About the Superfly During Jazzfest Series:
