2020 Roswell Jazz Festival Special Events
Due to the pandemic, there is too much uncertainty to allow us to present live, face-to-face concerts this fall. However, we have arranged for a series of special musical events. Jim Shearer will host fascinating livestream jazz presentations featuring photos, videos, and audio clips. Hillary Smith and Chris Dracup are providing a pre-recorded blues concert which will be aired online. The Jim Shearer events will be free (though donations will be accepted) and the blues concert will be a pay event.
Here is the schedule for the events:
