Worcester’s modern-day musical superstar, Joyner Lucas, is breaking free from the shackles of performer purgatory now that most coronavirus restrictions have been lifted, and he’s bringing an army of local talent along for the ride for his long-awaited Joyner Fest 2021. h During an interview with Worcester Magazine, Lucas described the Sept. 5 festival as “A big family reunion.” When asked how it feels to know Joyner Fest VIP tickets completely sold out in only a couple of hours, the now multi-platinum RIAA-certifi ed titleholder responded with gratitude. “It’s defi nitely a beautiful feeling to know I have so much support, and it means a lot to me,” Lucas said.
