Today, Chene Park announced the performers for the upcoming concert season and it's jam-packed with some of the biggest names in jazz, R&B, hip-hop, and funk.

Highlights include Erykah Badu and Nas on Saturday, June 23, Kamasi Washington (who ripped downtown Detroit apart via saxophone at last summer's Detroit Jazz Fest) on Wednesday, July 25, the Roots and Common on Friday, July 27, and Earth, Wind, and Fire on Saturday, Aug. 18.
Chene Park Amphitheater is an outdoor concert venue located near the GM Renaissance Center on the Detroit River. Able to hold 5,000 guests in the seats and 1,000 more on the lawn, this spot is a great venue for outdoor live music when the weather is warm and the breeze from the river is blowing.
