In late February, it was announced that a stacked lineup of artists would come together for a special late-night during Jazz Fest at the Howlin’ Wolf to pay tribute to the countless musicians that the world lost in 2016, dubbed Fu*k 2016: A Funky Tribute To Musicians We Lost. It was a rough year overall, but music always seems to find a way to make such losses tolerable. On Sunday, April 30th, during the first weekend of festivities, members of Turkuaz, The Motet, KDTU, Eric Krasno Band, Allen Stone, and more will play what is sure to go down as a night to remember at this year’s Late-Nite Jazz Fest series at the Wolf. And now, Snarky Puppy percussionist Nate Werth will join the laundry list of incredible artists.

Initially, Turkuaz’s Michelangelo Carubba, Craig Brodhead, and Shira Elias, were named along with The Motet’s Joey Porter, Garrett Sayers, and Lyle Divinsky, to explore the music of fallen artists such as Prince, David Bowie, George Michael, Maurice White, Bernie Worrell, Phife Dawg, Leonard Cohen, and many more. As the weeks have passed, Khris Royal of Rebelution, Maurice “Mobetta” Brown of SOUL’D OUT, D.J. Williams of Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Danny Mayer of the Eric Krasno Band, Steveland Swatkins from Allen Stone, and fellow Turkuaz vocalist Sammi Garett have come on board to fill out the complete lineup.

As support to the Tribute, RumpleSTEELskin with members of The Revivalists will open up the evening. The London Souls have also been tapped to play the late-late show over in The Den after the show. It’s going to be a party, that’s for sure.
