| Stevie Wonder |
As the final act to play for the weekend, Stevie Wonder
closed out the 2013 Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama with a bang. His performance was quite an epic grand
finale for any festival. His large live
band includes Stanley Rudolph on drums, Nathan Watts on bass guitar, Errol
Cooney on guitar, Ryan Kilgore on saxophone, Dwight Adams on trumpet, Fausto
Cuevas and Munyungo Jackson on percussion, and of course, Stevie Wonder on
piano and keys. His backup vocals are
led by his daughter, Aisha Morris, Keith John, and LaNeesha Baca. Wonder opened the show with a cover of Marvin
Gaye’s “How Sweet It Is,” which would set the tone for the rest of the rest of
the night. Practically every song was a
well known hit that was either a cover or a Stevie Wonder original.
