The music icon is calling it his Sing Your Song! As We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart Tour. He recently released a single titled “Can We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart.”
As the United States heads into the November elections, the peace-loving musician is calling for “joy over anger, kindness over recrimination, peace over war,” he said in a statement.
Wonder appeared at the Democratic National convention in August. Before he sang “Higher Ground,” 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.
“It is time to geeeeettt up and go vote!”
Seldom seen in the Twin Cities, Wonder, a 25-time Grammy winner, last appeared here in 2016 at an Xcel Energy Center tribute concert to Prince, who died earlier that year. Wonder last headlined in Minneapolis in 2015, which was his first local gig in 27 years.
Tickets will go on sale at noon Friday; check aeglive.com and targetcenter.com for more information. Wonder will be offering a certain amount of complimentary tickets to people in “our communities who are already working tirelessly to fix our nation’s broken heart.”
Tom Barnard’s replacement has settled into his new Minneapolis surroundings and reconnected with musician friends from his hard-touring days as the Black Crowes’ drummer.
