Local favorite, Grammy nominated vocalist/guitarist Buddy Flett will kick-off the festival on the Oschner LSU Health Shreveport Pavilion Stage. Legendary blues singer, 5 times humanitarian and music legend Betty Lewis will follow. More performances throughout the day on two stages will include Tree Fiddy Trio, The Rougarou Trio, Junior the Third, and Ohm Haus. Festival-goers will have two opportunities to parade through the park with the Shreveport Second Line Brass Band. Rounding out the day is the headlining act, the Grammy-award winning New Orleans Nightcrawlers, a bristling brass band with a modern soul.

About the Highland Jazz & Blues Festival Presented by Lagniappe P.R.I.M.E., LLC.:
Launched in 2003, the festival has grown from a handful of bands and a crowd of 500-1,000 to a gathering including two stages, nine bands, posters, t-shirts, food and art sales, and 10,000 music fans in Highland's beautiful Columbia Park. The annual festival is a gift to the community from the Highland Area Partnership doing business as the Highland Jazz & Blues Festival. Proceeds from the posters, t-shirts, and beverage sales, donations, and sponsorships are used to bring the festival back each year.

More about the New Orleans Nightcrawlers:
One of the hottest bands to come out of New Orleans' sizzling brass band scene, the Nightcrawlers have been beguiling local and foreign audiences for years with their intoxicating combination of traditional jazz, modern funk, and "a booty-shaking, hanky-waving rhythmic base that would set even the most rhythmically impaired among us to stomping" (Replay magazine). The talented composers, arrangers, and improvisers that make up this ensemble cut their teeth with a who's who of Crescent City music - including Dr. John, the Neville Brothers, Harry Connick, Jr., Preservation Hall Jazz Band, The Dukes of Dixieland, Better than Ezra, and Galactic. They've also been featured with many other beloved local bands, such as Bonerama, Papa Grows Funk, New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, Royal Fingerbowl, New Birth Brass Band, and Otra. When they're not exciting the locals with their infectious, original music (captured impressively on their five critically acclaimed CDs), they're spreading their contagious Crescent City sound worldwide. You may have even seen their featured appearance on the acclaimed animated TV series The Simpsons! The New Orleans Nightcrawlers won a Grammy award in 2021 for Best Regional Roots Music Album.
