Note: John Landon, our fabulously famous and wonderful artist, passed away in August 2018. Therefore, we no longer can offer "signed posters" by the artist for 2020. We will offer "commemorative posters" for 2020 with collectible Landon artwork. We are seeking a new festival artist for 2021 - please contact directly if interested.

Please note that membership in SLO Jazz Festival Society is not a voting membership for the 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation nor is governance required or expected as a member. Consider your membership an "exclusive ticket" that is unique to SLO Jazz Festival, much like a club or other membership.

SLO Jazz Festival Membership Society for 2019-2020 Programs
Picture
Our Programs include the following:
2020 SLO Jazz Festival — September 18-20, 2020. We hope to expand the jazz festival in 2019. We’ve grown the jazz festival from a half-day 2-stage event to full-day 4-stage event with stages for International & regional acts, a side stage for regional and local bands, a stage for college bands and high school bands. We hope to grow the jazz festival to  multiple days and grow the number of stages each year. We are planning on putting on a 5th Jazz Festival. We have featured artists such as Poncho Sanchez, Charlie Hunter & Scott Amendola, Walle Schnalle, Joshua Redman, Alfredo Rodriguez, John Santos, Boogie Stomp, Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers, Airto & Eyedentity, Pete Escovedo, John Worley, Paul McCandless, and many more.

Help us make it happen in 2020 with your membership application today!

Our Events and Programs:
2021 Spring Salsa Festival
The 2021 Spring Salsa Festival is our newest community event, comprised of multiple salsa bands in an event designed to bring the community together -- we still seek a venue and sponsorship to make this happen. We've raised over $10,000 for education and cancer support since 2011 and the Salsa Festival will be an opportunity to do good for the community.

​Other special events: We also have had special concerts at various points throughout the year, including Mardi Gras, New Year's Eve at Allegretto with a Tribute to Sinatra, a Blame It On The Bossa Nova brazilian party, jazz jams, and more. We are currently working on a Holiday show for 2019 and a Valentine's Day concert for 2020.

Summer Jazz Workshop

2020 Summer Jazz Workshop. The Summer Jazz Workshop, a            collaborative with Cuesta Jazz, Cuesta Community Programs, and SLO Jazz Festival, hope to expand to a full week and full day in 2019. We almost tripled our attendance in 2019 from 12  to 33 students! Our Inner Circle $5K+ memberships include sponsorship of a deserving student in 2020. Last year, we had Terry Lawless, Wally Schnalle, and John Worley as guest instructors!
