Joe's Jazz and Blues Fest

The brain child of Mayor Joe, who played trumpet in the Somerville High School Jazz Band, Joe’s Jazz and Blues Festival is back for the third consecutive year! Kicking off on Monday, June 20th, the festival will make its way through local hot spots throughout the week. An all-day free concert at Powderhouse Park on Sat., June 25th from noon to 7pm will have the crowd picnicking and groovin' as the Dwight Ritcher Trio gets ready... to close the festival with a spectacular concert at the Center for Arts at the Armory at 8pm.

During the week, area venues will showcase some of the incredible local talent in our musical midst. Visit www.somervilleartscouncil.org for more details, and be sure to check out the line-up for the city concert at: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=153050281415912 !
