    I have news! I will be heading off to Montreal this week to cover the 2016 Montreal Jazz Festival!

    This one is really special to me, because I am homeward bound and for the first time ever, I'll actually be covering an event on home soil. Back to where it all began, y'all! Can you tell that I am excited?!

    I've been scoping out the festival every year and noticed that they keep on adding a great selection of soul artists to their schedule. I remember one year when Stevie Wonder performed at the free open stage show - and I missed it! Well, low and behold, wouldn't you know that Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings will be performing at the free show this year, and I will be sitting on a train making my way to the city. Woe is me. ;) But there are a few other shows that I definitely have on my radar  - Bilal (after he done etched his epicness into our psyche during the BET Awards), Terrace MartinKalmunity, Lauryn Hill, Trombone Shorty (whom I am crazy excited to see!)...obviously, this is not a game.

    My full coverage of the Montreal Jazz Festival will be found right here on Soultracks.com, but you'll also find some tidbits on my site, Soulafrodisiac.  Make sure to follow me over on FacebookTwitter and Instagram as well!

    I'M EXCITED! More to come!

    See y'all soon...
