Jazz-filled season in tune for Vernon Jazz Society

Jan 4, 2023 | 2:00 PM

The Vernon Jazz Society is coming out of the gates hot with its line-up of 11 shows for the 2023 winter and spring season.

“And what a season it is going to be! Exceptional artists playing a diverse range of jazz at the club in downtown Vernon. Showcasing the depth of Okanagan talent, as well as artists from Montreal, Vancouver, Seattle and LA,” a new release from the society stated.

Love the blues, try Thompson’s Hard Bop Quintet, Poppa Dawg or Blues Hoodoo. Passionate about jazz singers, you will be entranced by Karen Wiseman, Melody Diachun, Judy Rose, Elizabeth Shepherd and Steve Maddock!

Saxophone’s your thing – check out Campbell Ryga and Chris Startup, or the jazz piano alive with Dylan Hayes. Finally mix it up with some of jazz’s leading artists in the Nick Maclean Quartet. The Vernon Jazz Club welcomes you to an intimate space, one that performers love for its great sound, audience vibe and, hey, there’s a dance floor too! We look forward to seeing you in January 2023!
