NOLA-native Christian Scott and DJ Soul Sister are on the bill alongside the “Losing You” singer, who will bring out a “special guest” (Beyoncé?) at the House of Blues Saturday night.

Solo has roots in New Orleans, the city that she now calls home. Her mother is of Creole descent and Beyoncé reportedly purchased a church-turned-mansion in the Big Easy earlier this year.
