My sister, a geology professor of Tulane, drove them to the Lower Ninth Ward and other areas to show them how and where the levees failed. So NOLA was on my mind as I cruised the internet.<\/p>\n<p>And then I saw that the huge lineup has been announced for next year&#8217;s Jazz Fest.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never been to Jazz Fest. Those two weekends always coincide with the end of the semester at Armstrong, which makes leaving a little tricky. <\/p>\n<p>The lineup includes Tom Petty &#038; the Heartbreakers, John Mayer, Al Green, Trombone Shorty, Bon Iver, Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, Iron &#038; Wine, Dianne Reeves, Carolina Chocolate Drops, and Givers. And that&#8217;s just a handful of acts &#8212; <em>on the first weekend<\/em> (April 27 to 29). <\/p>\n<p>The second weekend includes Sharon Jones &#038; the Dap-Kings, Levon Helm Band with special guest Mavis Staples, Steve Earle, The Neville Brothers, The Eagles, and Foo Fighters. <\/p>\n<p>You can find the full list <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nola.com\/jazzfest\/index.ssf\/2011\/12\/2012_new_orleans_jazz_fest_lin.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&#038;utm_medium=twitter\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.
