"Most well known for his piece 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' and giving voice to the political consciousness spurred by the civil rights movement in the ‘60s and ‘70s, Heron's appearance on a day honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. is appropriate, considering the wordsmith's campaign with Stevie Wonder in 1980 to make it a national holiday. Backed by a three-piece band, the poet will delve into a decades-long discography as well as his first new album in 13 years entitled "I'm New Here." --Jose Gonzales, The Phoenix New Times
