Stevie Wonder Aims to Help “Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart” With 10-City Tour Leading Up to Presidential Election – Good Black News

Love is definitely in need of love today, and one of its most staunch and steadfast purveyors, legendary and visionary artist Stevie Wonder, is going on the road once again to offer just that.

Wonder announced today he will be playing select dates in October across 10 cities in a call for “joy over anger, kindness over recrimination, peace over war” during this most contentious election season in the United States.

As a special thank you to those in communities who are already working tirelessly to fix our nation’s broken heart, Wonder will be offering a designated amount of complimentary tickets to them.

This mini-tour, titled “Sing Your Song! As We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart,” is produced by Wonder Productions and promoted by AEG Presents in partnership with Free Lunch.

The tour kicks off  Tuesday, October 8 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA, with stops in New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Greensboro, Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis before concluding Wednesday, October 30 at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI.

Wonder recently appeared at the Democratic National Convention, where he said “I know the importance of action… Now is the moment to understand where we are and what it will take to win: win the broken hearts, win the disenchanted, win the angry spirits — now is the time.”

Wonder continued: “This is the moment to remember when you tell your children where you were and what you did… We must choose courage over complacency. It is time to geeeeetttup and go vote!” before performing  his 1973 classic “Higher Ground.”
