The Evergreen Jazz Festival and Ovation West have joined together to present this iconic Denver band for the second Shining Stars concert of the season. The Queen City Jazz band has been honored by Colorado Governors, the Colorado State Legislature and the Denver City Council, and has performed at every major Dixieland/Swing festival in North America. The current band continues to delight listeners of all ages with the music of the early masters of blues and jazz like Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong, along with the great sounds of the “Second Line” straight from Bourbon Street. Ballroom dancers love the QCJB’s mix of the 1930s and 40s standards from Cab Calloway to Duke Ellington. Wende Harston’s vocal style and energy harken back to the great female jazz and blues vocalists of the past.

Organizers of the Evergreen Jazz Festival are excited to offer their fans a respite from winter and a chance to experience Queen City Jazz Band, always a jazz festival favorite, in the intimate setting of Center Stage. The Evergreen Jazz Festival, now in its 19th year, is a summer tradition for jazz lovers from across the region.
