15th annual Jazz and Beyond Carson City Music and Art Festival coming this August
Mile High Jazz Band Association and Carson City present the 15th Annual Jazz and Beyond Music and Art Festival. It features 17 days of Music, Art, and Film at multiple venues in Carson City, from Aug. 3-19.
"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 planning committee co-chair David Bugli, President of the Mile High Jazz Band Assoc. "Sponsors and volunteers help us make the event one of the best in the area, and keep performances admission free."
The festival opens on Friday, August 3, at the historic Bliss Mansion, northeast corner Mountain and Robinson Streets. An art show and sale on the porch at 4 p.m. features artists from the Nevada Artists Association. Music begins at 4:30 p.m. with the Rocky Tatarelli Band, followed at 6:30 p.m. by Cherie and John Shipley with the Take This band.
Two special events will be a talk and performance on World Percussion with Chance Utter assisted by Andy Heglund, The Batamba Collective, and members of the UNR World Percussion Ensemble on Thursday, Aug. 9, at the Brewery Arts Center Performance Hall, and a talk and performance on Virginia City's Jazz Era by John Shipley and friends on Thursday, Aug. 16, at the Nevada State Museum.
The third annual “A Day at the Silver Saddle Ranch,” 2648 Carson River Road on the east side of Prison Hill, will be on Sunday, Aug. 12, beginning at 2 p.m. Bluegrass and Western music, live animals, and food trucks will be featured.
