August 10th Concert
Our Outdoor concert on the Delta Show Stage will feature two new artists this year to our festival
Kris Jay Quartet – featuring our newest workshop faculty member, Kris Bowerman.
Van Django -Their music is well-rooted in the gypsy jazz of 1930’s Paris France, but beyond that it’s all pure blue-skying; flights of dazzling fancy, driving rhythms and boundless creativity, featuring original compositions and arrangements including humorous mash-ups wearing their eclectic influences in full regalia. Since the group’s formation in 1998, they have toured extensively in Canada and international forays to the US, Europe, and China.
The group has had repeat performances at Djangofest Northwest (DFNW) in 2008 to 2016 sharing the stage with gypsy jazz luminaries such as the John Jorgenson Quintet, the legendary gypsy jazz guitarist Romane, and many others.
