When it comes to the Cincinnati Music Festival (known to the real as “Jazz Fest”), the lineup is always top notch. But what really gets a crowd going are those one songs. The ones that make people stop mid-conversation and yell “OHHH this my ****!” before two-stepping in Paycor Stadium with a drink in tow.
