The lineups have been announced for the Delaney Chevrolet Westsylvania Jazz and Blues Festival later this month.
The headline act will be Indiana native Joe Saylor, who currently is the drummer for the “Stay Human” Band on The Late Show with Steven Colbert. He was also part of the team that put together the jazz portion of the score for the Disney/Pixar film “Soul”. He will give two performances on the weekend of May 26th and 27th. The first will be a ticketed show at the Indiana Theater Friday night and the second will be a free show at the festival stage on South 7th Street at 5:30 PM on Saturday. The other headline act will be Toronzo Cannon, a multiple-time Blues Music Award nominee. He will play at 7:30 on Saturday.
Other performances on the Saturday of the festival include area high school student jazz bands, “Jazz in your Face” out of Johnstown, “Blues Attack” from Pittsburgh, “Norside Organ Trio” from the Western PA region, and “Soulful Femme”. Some late night jam sessions are also scheduled for establishments in Downtown Indiana, but their lineups have yet to be announced.
The shows on Saturday are free and open to the public, and people can find more information by visiting westsylvaniajazzandblues.org
