Set The DVR! A. Keys Is Gearing Up For VH1′s Storytellers
When Jill Scott did her thing on VH1′s new “Behind-the-Music meets MTV’s “Unplugged” type show, “Storytellers,” the masses were quite pleased. Now we’ve learned the lineup for next season is equally promising, with Alicia Keys penciled in to tell her story this fall.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Alicia Keys will join Taylor Swift and Pink on the next season of “Storytellers” which will roll out as a three-day special. The show kicks off November 11 with Taylor, then on November 12 Alicia Keys will tell her story, followed by Pink on the 13th.
Though a few details have been shared of Taylor Swift’s airing, so far everything for A. Keys is hush hush. All we know is the show will follow its customary outline of having the artists perform and share stories about their lives, lyrics, and careers in front of an intimate audience. Maybe Alicia will give us a sneak peek of her upcoming album, “Girl on Fire.”

Jill Scott’s Telling Her Story For VH1
VH1 is bringing back it’s original series, Storytellers, and Jill Scott’s story will kick off the premiere of the show’s 16th season.
VH1 Storytellers features singer and songwriters performing and telling stories about their lives, music, and careers in front of an intimate audience and it has been on the air since 1996. Jill Scott is an appropriate entertainer to headline the new season, considering the recognition she’s received for her fourth studio album, “The Light of the Sun,” including an NAACP Image Award.
Jill Scott’s story will debut May 1 followed by specials on a few other artists you might want to check out as well, like Jason Mraz (June 1), Norah Jones (June 8), and Grace Potter & the Nocturnals (June 15).
“We’re so proud to announce these exceptionally talented artists as part of our 16th season of VH1 Storytellers,” VH1 President Tom Calderone, said in a press release. “Our audience is hungry for the kind of deeper musical experience and connection to artists that Storytellers brings. That connection has cemented the series’ status as a jewel of the entertainment world where artists intimately share their music and the often revealing and poignant stories behind their songs.”
