Jill Scott is making good on her promise to complete her Who is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds Vol. 1 Anniversary Tour. Originally, the shows were scheduled for 2020 for a 20th anniversary tour, but the world was flipped on it’s head thanks to Covid-19 and part of the tour was cancelled. So, 2 years later, with clarity on our side, the Who Is Jill Scott? Anniversary Tour will go on, officially celebrating the 23rd anniversary of the critically acclaimed album.
“My band and I were so excited three years ago, but that damn COVID shut us down,” said Scott. “Now, we outside! Come see me. Come feel again. Relive your favorite moments. Ya’ll ready to settle down and get with this?!? It’s a lot of love here.”
Jill Scott will play the iconic album front to back, with hits from her iconic debut album, such as “Gettin’ in the Way,” “A Long Walk” and other musical stories. The tour, produced by Live Nation Urban, will play in over 20 markets across the country, with special multi-show residencies in Washington, D.C. at the MGM National Harbor on Mother’s Day weekend and Scott’s hometown of Philadelphia at The MET Philadelphia, marking the first time the North Philadelphia native will play at the storied North Philadelphia venue. The Philadelphia stop also includes a fundraiser at the Arden Theatre in support of her non-profit, the Blues Babe Foundation.
