The best 4th of July Welcome America lineup ever? We think so.

FILED UNDER: Artists, Events, News, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Earth, Estelle, Michael McDonald, Sara Barielles, The Roots, Welcome America, Wind and Fire

This morning Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter announced the lineup for this year’s 4th of July free concert on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. We can now forgive the City for the past musical 4th of July sins of having to sit through performances by The Goo Goo Dolls, Sheryl Crow, and The Beach Boys. This year The Roots are headlining the concert with performances from Earth Wind & Fire, Michael McDonald, Sara Barielles, Estelle, and DJ Jazzy Jeff.
