2019 Lineup
The festival kicks off with the 17-piece local favorite, the SouthCoast Jazz Orchestra, back for the seventh year with its classic big-band sound, a powerhouse group of regional musicians led by Symphony Music Shop owner, Bob Williamson.
The band plays semi-regularly at Gilda’s Stone Rooster in Marion.
The Scruffy Aristocrats are a providence based 6-piece brass band.
The group came together on the streets of Rhode Island making music for crowds at Water Fire, to popping up in Newport to play by the ocean.
Thriving in energetic, playful and dance worthy music, the Scruffy Aristocrats are sure to have the whole house on their feet.
And since we’re always cordial to our guest (and maybe professionally mischevious) we have an array of tunes to get everyone moving.
From The Jackson 5, the temptations and Mungo Jerry, to New Orleans style jazz, to funk, and a sprinkle of hip-hop, everyone’s musical tastes buds will be satisfied.
