Maggie Rogers Enjoys Jazz Fest as Fan for Birthday

Singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers attended the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival as a fan for her birthday weekend, fulfilling a return after her planned 2020 performance was canceled. She shared her enjoyment of the festival's atmosphere, including seeing artists like Stevie Nicks and Mavis Staples, and experiencing local cuisine. Rogers, known for her genre-blending music, first gained widespread attention a decade ago when her song "Alaska" went viral after a positive reaction from Pharrell Williams during an NYU class, launching her into pop stardom. She has since released multiple albums, earned a Grammy nomination, and pursued further education at Harvard University.
