Frankie Beverly & Maze at the Essence Fest in New Orleans
By Michael Lewis | Austin, Texas Frankie Beverly and Maze will be back again Sunday night at the Essence Festival this year. In addition to performing their own set, Maze will be saluted during a brief “tribute performance” by R&B singer-songwriter Anthony Hamilton. Frankie Beverly and Maze closed out the first 15 nights of the Essence Festival, inspiring a mass “electric slide” across the Dome floor every year. Looking to put a fresh face on the festival, a new administration at Essence magazine and a new producer for the festival phased out Beverly. Over the past decade, he has instead performed each spring at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Beverly last performance at the Essence Festival was in 2015 on Friday, July 3. 2019 ESSENCE FESTIVAL MAIN STAGE SCHEDULE FRIDAY 7 p.m. Essence Welcome/Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle tribute with Ledisi, MC Lyte, Morris Day, Brandi, Doug E.
