With her new album mere weeks away, excitement about Jill Scott's musical return is at a fever pitch. To add fuel to her fan's fires is today's announcement that she will be going on tour to support The Light of the Sun. A concert tour was to be expected, but the lineup on what is being called Jill Scott's Summer Block Party is out-of-this-world amazing.

For me, it means a two hour drive. Really gotta think about this one ^ spending 50 on gas to get there.
