The 15th Annual Erie Art Museum Blues & Jazz Festival will feature musicians that range from regional favorites to international super-stars.
"Each night, we have created a potent mix of musicians each creating a vibe that is unique to the Festival," said John Vanco, director of the Erie Art Museum and Festival producer. "We are particularly excited about the family performance opening the Festival on Saturday which will feature the Erie African Dance Troupe Sylla Kunda."
The Museum is pleased to announce that this year's Sunday lineup will include the legendary Rashied Ali (well known as the drummer for John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Archie Shepp and many others) leading an exciting young quintet. Also gracing the jazz stage is the remarkable guitarist Stew Cutler with his trio.
