In Tune with Ms. Waddy: The Hart of Philly (Kevin Hart) is Coming Home!

It's official. Funny man Kevin Hart has been named the host of the 2013 Wawa Welcome America 4th of July Jam. The Philadelphian comedian, actor, and host could not come back to his hometown at a more perfect time. His new film Let Me Explain, based on his 2012 comedy tour, hits theaters on his birthday, July 3rd, the day before the concert! This will definitely be a very exciting week for the Hart of Philadelphia!

Check out the official trailer below.

You should certainly make it a point to see the film July 3rd then watch Hart host July Jam live the next day. I know I will!

Philly's own Jill Scott and The Roots are set to perform. Other performers include Ne-Yo, J. Cole, Jon Mayer, Demi Lovato, and more. For a full schedule of the Wawa Welcome America weeklong celebration, click here.

I had the chance to meet Miss Jilly from Philly and Ne-Yo as well as see them each perform live. He puts on a great live show! When you can put a face to a name and hear the raw talent, you really appreciate the music you've been listening to throughout their career. With him, Hart, Scott, and others, I think it's safe to say there will be lots to look forward to in Philly that week!
