Webster’s biggest music event returns on Saturday, Sept. 21, with an electrifying lineup of the region’s best local jazz, blues, funk, rock, and soul musicians.
“This year promises to be the biggest and best event yet. We’re bringing back longtime crowd pleasers like our friends Marquise Knox, along with new favorites like Jeremiah Johnson, who’s making his festival debut this year and closing out the day’s performances,” said Brian Ward, the festival’s musical director.
For 19 years, Old Webster Jazz & Blues Festival has attracted more than 12,000 fans annually. Music stages are located in the heart of Webster Groves, surrounded by historic buildings and locally owned restaurants and shops. The setting creates a unique performance space. Live music will be played throughout the day on the festival’s two performance stages located on North Gore and Allen avenues.
