Would you like to Perform at the Festival?

We have a limited number of opportunities to perform at the Festival. These include spots for young musicians to try out their performance chops, for seasoned jazz and blues artists to act as House Band in the jam sessions or to play day and evening sets at smaller venues across town.

These last several months have involved a lot of hard work, trial and error, and a very steep learning curve. We haven’t got it all right all the time, but I believe we’re in great shape for next year. And it certainly wouldn’t have happened without the goodwill of so many people.
