Charleston, SC (PRWEB) March 23, 2007 -- The Charleston Music & Heritage Festival, better known as ChazzFest Presented by Digital Lifestyle Outfitters, today announced its lineup of world-class American musical artists for 2007.
The second annual ChazzFest (http://www.chazzfest.com) will be held September 22, 2007, and will feature a diverse schedule of musical genres and artists playing on four stages throughout the grounds of the Family Circle Tennis Center on Daniel Island.
"Consistent with the philosophy we established last year, we're bringing an eclectic mix of artists, while celebrating our roots." said ChazzFest promoter and partner Riddick Lynch. "Even though we set the bar high in our inaugural year, we feel this lineup is stronger in terms of depth and breadth. We're encouraging everyone to come early and stay late."
Kicking off the Festival will be Ann Caldwell and the Magnolia Singers, a Charleston institution with music from the roots of African-American Gospel music. Closing the Festival will be the co-headliners - jazz icon Branford Marsalis and funk / R&B legends Kool and the Gang.
In addition to those acts, the lineup for ChazzFest will feature: New Orleans jazz / funk rockers Galactic, reggae pioneer Toots & The Maytals, gospel star Dottie Peoples, alt-country rock act SonVolt, north Florida's swamp boogie kings JJ Grey & Mofro, bluegrass stalwarts Seldom Scene, New Orleans' hip-hop influenced Soul Rebels Brass Band and top sacred-steel ensemble The Lee Boys. Beach music again will be well represented by heavyweights Chairmen of the Board and The Embers. Rounding out the bill will be local acts Quiana Parler (of American Idol fame) & Friends, Uncle Mingo and Davis Coen.
