VersoFest’s 5th year will be bigger than ever.
That’s not hyperbole.
It’s Wyclef Jean performing.
The Grammy Award-winning artist/producer/composer/Fugees co-founder has just been booked as the headliner for the March 27 concert.
He’ll be there with his full band. Tickets are $125, and available now at VersoFest.org.
If that’s not enough: Jean’s show will support Music Will — the largest nonprofit music education program for schools in the United States.
Wyclef Jean
VersoFest is the Westport Library’s annual music and media conference — a forum for media creators, artists, and fans to converge.
The music that Jean has written, performed and produced — both as a solo superstar, and as founder and guiding member of the Fugees — has been a powerful pop cultural force for more than 2 decades.
Hits include the Fugees’ reinvention of Roberta Flack’s 1973 ballad “Killing Me Softly”; “Hips Don’t Lie” with Shakira, which he co-wrote, produced, and is featured on; his own “Gone Till November”; “Ghetto Superstar”; Carlos Santana’s Numeber 1 single “Maria, Maria” (featuring Jean); and Whitney Houston’s “My Love is Your Love.”
Jean has earned 3 Grammy Awards; Golden Globe and Emmy nominations, and the cover of Rolling Stone’s “Top 50 Hip Hop Players.” He’s made music with Michael Jackson, Queen, Mick Jagger, Paul Simon, Earth Wind & Fire, Kenny Rogers, and Tom Jones.
As a solo artist, Jean’s 6 albums have sold nearly 9 million copies worldwide.
Now he’ll be in Westport — performing for just 700 people, in the cutting-edge, intimate Library space.
Every person who makes a comment on this post by midnight tonight gets TWO MILLION dollars! Dan Woog gets three million. Why you ask? Because I’m hitting the 1.55 billion Powerball tonight.
If you win will you also just go away?
🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸
Any relation to Mike Golden, Staples class of 1965? We were neighbors in the 1960s.
By the way, there was no 1.55 billion Powerball drawing on the night I posted my comment. The drawing is tomorrow on December 20th. I guess Tom & Janice missed that little detail lol.
that’s mean Janice, hope that was a joke.
that’s very sweet Jack!
Janine, This is not a joke. The drawing is tomorrow and you and Dan Woog are both getting 3 million each! As a matter of fact, I’m giving away 700 million!
Jack,
If I win, will Janice just go away? And can I have her share of the winnings? I promise to give half to Dan (Woog, not Katz).
Eric, The drawing is in 2 and a half hours, and I’ll give you 3 million, along with Dan and Janine. That’s 9 million in total! After tax about 710 million is the take home amount.
