NEW ORLEANS JAZZ & HERITAGE FESTIVAL ADDS SHERYL CROW

Grammy winner Sheryl Crow has been added the the entertainment roster for the upcoming New Orleans Jazz and Hertitage Festival. On April 25, nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow will headline the first night of this year's New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (also known as JazzFest) as part of a short run of dates -- a preview of her extensive upcoming summer tour. Last week Crow's sixth studio album, the highly personal Detours, debuted on Billboard's Top 200 Album Chart at #2, and has already been hailed as a classic. The album marks the return of producer Bill Bottrell and "USA Today" calls it "Crow's Magnum Opus."

Crow will also be playing dates in Wichita, KS (April 22), Tulsa, OK (April 23), Pensacola, FL (April 26), Jacksonville, FL (April 27) and Clearwater, FL (April 29) in preparation for her full-scale nationwide tour this summer. One dollar from each ticket sold will go to the United Nations' World Food Programme. New Orleans holds a special place in Crow's heart; she recorded her eponymous second album there, and she pays tribute to the city's undying optimism and resilience in her current single, "Love is Free."

Sheryl Crow is in the midst of a publicity for her latest album (Detours) and single (Love Is Free), and has a number of television appearance scheduled. Here is a breakdown of those tv shows:

March 10 – The Tonight Show
March 11 – The Ellen DeGeneres Show
March 13 – Jimmy Kimmel Live
March 14 - Last Call With Carson Daly
