Lauryn Hill finally returns for Munhall concert Wednesday

With very short notice, Lauryn Hill will play her first Pittsburgh show in 17 years at Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall in Munhall at 8 p.m. May 11.

Tickets range from $55 to $100 and are on sale now at sale now at Ticketfly.com, Librarymusichall.com or by calling 1-877-4-FLY-TIX.

The soulful singer/rapper from New Jersey is beloved for her work with hip-hop superstars The Fugees and on her five-time Grammy-winning 1998 album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill." Since then, she has only released her MTV Unplugged and a few sporadic singles, and she has rarely toured.

She performed at the Star Lake Amphitheater in 1999 to great reviews and a turnout of under 5,500. This long-awaited return is announced with six days notice but should have no trouble selling out.

The few recent shows she's done have featured a mix of new and old solo songs, Fugees faves and a sprinkling of Bob Marley covers.

Promoter Brian Drusky said Friday, "The agent just hit me up yesterday about it and asked if I wanted to do it. Worked really quick through it, and today it's on sale." He said the only other show that he's done with this short of a lead time was Dave Chappelle 18 months ago.
