The 2019 蜜柚直播 Desert Song Festival will intersect with the 2019 HSL Properties 蜜柚直播 Jazz Festival in January.
Both festivals are sharing jazz vocalist Bobby McFerrin, whose Jan. 20 concert at Fox 蜜柚直播 Theatre is presented by the song festival.
The three-week song festival Jan. 15 to Feb. 5 kicks off with the all-female double-bill of Magos Herrera and her quartet, and Jane Bunnett and Maqueque at the Fox, 17 W. Congress St., as part of the jazz festival, which runs Jan. 11 to 21.
