Jazz Summit Festival
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Held annually the last weekend in February, the Jazz Summit features appearances by jazz musicians from throughout the nation and has even, on four occasions, attracted international artists (2000 - Delbert Bernabela, Ivan Quandus; 1994 - Jim Mair, Canada; 1995 - Delbert Bernabela, Ivan Quandus, and Carlos Bislip, Aruba, and Victor Mestas , Venezuela; 1996 - Ignacio Berroa, Cuba). School jazz bands and enthusiastic jazz aficionados from throughout the Midwest flock to Coe College to get clinics from the guests and to hear them perform. The Jazz Summit was founded in 1992 and continues a tradition of jazz festivals at Coe College that stretches back to the 1970's. During this period, the festival has grown from an afternoon event with an evening concert, to a three-day festival encompassing clinics, workshops, a jazz band competition which accommodates almost 2000 musicians from ninety different high school and middle school jazz bands, an awards ceremony, and the Grand Finale concert featuring the jazz ensemble from Coe College and performances by the guest artist. Concert will be at 7 p.m. Feb. 23.</span></p> 2018-12-05 21:00:00 -06002/21/198:00 a.m.Coe College Sinclair AuditoriumCedar Rapids -

Live Music: Amy Andrews at Vue Rooftop
<p>Born and raised in Baltimore Maryland, musician Amy Andrews is an award-winning vocalist, who often draws comparisons to Norah Jones and the late, great Eva Cassidy. </p><p>Known firstly for stunning vocals and unassuming charm on stage, and secondly for traveling great swaths of North America to play stages while her dog hangs out in the green room, Amy has, in the last few years, gone solo and received national (US) press, while touring hundreds of thousands miles to share stages and open for artists from Gregory Alan Isakov, Stu Larsen, Rose Cousins, to Levi Lowrey and Clay Cook (of Zac Brown Band and John Mayer), and more. </p><p>From Alaska Folk Festival to Florida's 30A Songwriters' Festival, with headliners like Jackson Browne, Lucinda Williams, and Mary Chapin Carpenter, Amy has played it all, and this tree-hugging, ever-traveling, modern day torch-singer and songwriter, is one you will want to hear live!</p> 2019-01-18 23:00:00 -0600
