2012 Essence Music Festival

In case you missed it, the 2012 Essence Music Festival was off the chain!  Thousands upon thousands descended on New Orleans for the 4-day party with a purpose, complete with performances and seminars by some of the biggest stars in music, comedy, radio and film.

They don't call it a party with a purpose for nothing.  The Essence Music Festival has been a staple in the New Orleans area since 1995.

For the first time in nearly 10 years, D'Angelo will be performing here in the U.S.  He picked the perfect place for a come back too, The Essences Music Festival!
