Dates set: Jazz and Beyond Carson City Music Festival August 7-23
Mile High Jazz Band Association and Carson City present the 12th Annual Jazz and Beyond Festival. It features 17 days of Music and Art at multiple venues in Carson City, August 7-23.
"Jazz and Beyond is a homegrown event celebrating the talent of our region and relying on many local music fans who donate their time and effort," said committee co-chair David Bugli, President of the Mile High Jazz Band Assoc. "Volunteers, sponsors, and advertisers help us make the event one of the best in the area, and keep most performances admission free."
Festival organizers are seeking additional business and private sponsors, program advertisers, and volunteers. For invitation to a preliminary event for volunteers and information on rates for sponsorships and program ads, call Mile High Jazz Band at 775-883-4154.
The festival opens on August 7 at the historic Bliss mansion. An art show on the porch begins at 3 p.m., tours of the mansion at 4 and 5 p.m, and a performance by Cherie and John Shipley with Take This on the lawn at 6:30 p.m.
Three Sunday afternoon concerts on the grounds of the Legislature - August 9, 16, and 23 - always attract large crowds. Bands include Leslie Alice & Bill Hecht, Carolyn Dolan Band, The Red Tango, RVGS Bigger Band, CeCe Gable Band, and the Reno Jazz Orchestra.
Free concerts also will be held at Carson Mall, Comma Coffee Courtyard, the Brewery Arts Center, and other downtown Carson City venues. Special events are a Motown music lecture and concert, Speakeasy Swing Dance, a Drum Summit, and a Count Basie Birthday concert. A full schedule of events will be available soon on the website JazzCarsonCity.com.
