CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Tri-C JazzFest again has put out a call for local bands to perform in the free outdoor concerts at the Playhouse Square complex this summer.
Online applications will be accepted at https://forms.tri-c.edu/JazzFestCallsForBands/ starting Monday, Feb. 12. Applications to fill the 18 or so slots will be accepted at that address until Monday, March 26.
The JazzFest, now in its 39th year, isn't looking just for jazz bands, either. In years past, the outdoor portion of the festival on Friday and Saturday, June 29 and 30, has sought applications from jazz, blues, funk, R&B, gospel, jam band and reggae groups, according to a release from festival organizers at Cuyahoga Community College.
"Not only is the committee choosing bands based on quality, they're charged with presenting a balance of music genres,'' said festival director Terri Pontremoli in the release announcing the call for bands.
The bands selected by a committee of industry professionals will perform at various stages outdoors at Playhouse Square from 3 p.m. to midnight June 29 and 30. The festival itself begins on Thursday, June 28, with the first of eight ticketed shows, Tony Award winners Leslie Odom Jr. (from the musical, "Hamilton") and Dee Dee Bridgewater (from "The Wiz'').
