On Thurs, Oct 3rd, Tipitina’s will partner with NOLAxNOLA to present an All-Star Tribute to Stevie Wonder performed by some of New Orleans’ legendary musicians for an incredible night to benefit Tip-It Foundation, Youth Empowerment Project, MiNO Foundation, & The Roots of Music.
Doors will open at 7PM and the show will begin at 8PM. Tickets are currently available on the Tipitina’s website and at the Tipitina’s Box Office located at 501 Napoleon Ave.

Special Guest performances for the night will feature Irma Thomas, Cyril Neville, Kermit Ruffins, Deacon John, Jon Cleary, Nigel Hall, Big Sam Williams and more.

These legendary musicians will perform with the backing of an 11 piece funk orchestra – The Wonderlove All-Stars – which features Stanton Moore (Galactic), Cornell Williams (Nell & Bel), Jelly Joseph, Taku Hirano (Fleetwood Mac), Rich Vogel (Galactic), Ari Teitel (The Rumble), Kendrick Marshall, and The Superstitious Horns. Material will focus largely on Stevie Wonder’s 70s songs and his biggest hits. 15 year old New Orleans singer and piano prodigy, River Eckert, will begin the event with a set of all-time soul classics.

This event is being produced by Paul Peck, who is known for creating stunning live collaborations having worked with artists including Questlove, Skrillex, Mumford & Sons, Chance the Rapper, Derek Trucks, Brittany Howard, Dr. John and many more. “NOLAxNOLA 2024 is giving us a dream opportunity – to experience these legendary songs, performed in ambitious fashion by some of the best musicians of our time, at Tip’s, which I firmly believe is among the most special music venues on the planet.”

The event is made possible through the direct support of The Gia Maione Prima Foundation, NOLAxNOLA, New Orleans & Company, and New Orleans Tourism And Cultural Fund.

NOLAxNOLA is a coalition of over fifty New Orleans music venues, artists and cultural leaders, in partnership with New Orleans & Company and The New Orleans Tourism and Cultural Fund that banded together in 2021 with the initial goal of supporting one another and the music community and culture bearers as New Orleans was welcoming visitors back to the city post pandemic. Now four years later NOLAxNOLA has become an annual fall tradition with over 300 shows and music industry events over two weeks highlighted by special events, major collaborations and distinct programming that takes place throughout New Orleans and its world class venues.
