Dominican-born and Atlanta-based artiste, Heston Francis, has been confirmed for the fifth edition of Dominica’s Jazz ‘n Creole.
Heston will bring his soulful melodies to the stage at Fort Shirley on Sunday June 8, 2014.
Heston’s fourth album, Love Junkie, has been described as his hottest to date. Released in 2013, it quickly soared to the number one spot on the UK Soul Chart.
He loves and lives great music and the precision of his musical talent is unparalleled.
“I want to leave the world with music that can be played for a lifetime,” he once said.
From the dance grooves like ‘Resign to You,’ to love ballads like the title track, ‘Love Junkie,’ and even the reggae influenced tracks like ‘Come Away With Me,’ this talented singer-songwriter has produced songs which are lyrically refreshing and leave audiences captivated.
“Dominica is proud of this ‘Soulful Gentleman’ from our shores who has mesmerised audiences around the world and invites the Jazz ‘n Creole audience to join the growing fan base that loves Heston’s music,” the Discover Dominica Authority (DDA) said.
Heston will join a line up at the Creole ‘n Jazz which will include Grammy award winning singer songwriter Angelique Kidjo.
Dominica’s Jazz ‘n Creole 2014 is presented by the Government of Dominica, with headline partner DDA and major telecommunications partner, Digicel.

Can attest to this soulful artist as a great draw. We last met up at his performance of Wind Down Wednesdays in Atlanta. Great artist who never forgot his Dominican roots! Yes, he also took time off to tell the audience where he was from. Should be a treat!
