GoDaddy, the world’s largest technology provider for small business, is a new sponsor this year, as the Signature Artist Series Sponsor for Joshua Redman. GoDaddy’s CEO, Blake Irving, is himself an accomplished drummer and jazz fan who has played with multiple Grammy winners. “Helping bring a musician as talented as Joshua Redman to the stage at this year’s SLO Jazz Festival is inspiring,” said Irving, who resides in San Luis Obispo. “Joshua is passionate, diverse and driven, not unlike our GoDaddy customers, who own small businesses. As an entrepreneur, as in jazz, you really have to love what you do and know how to improvise. This is going to be one heck of a great show and I'm stoked it’s all right here in SLO."
Full Lineup is now announced! We're adding new VIP amenities, a new Youth in Music Stage with a drum and conga clinic, and featuring other new bonus attractions, plus an incredible lineup of top International, Regional, and Local talent!
