WINNIPEG — Jazz fans are in for a musical treat next weekend with the return of in-person performances hosted by Jazz Winnipeg.
The 2021 Fall Fest lineup will invite Manitobans to the King’s Head Pub and Rachel Browne Theatre from October 1-3 for three days of jazz.
“We are so excited to welcome Jazz Winnipeg audience members back to a whole festival of in-person events,” said Jazz Winnipeg’s Angela Heck.
“With physical distancing and vaccination verification requirements in place, we are confident about offering music fans a safe festival-going experience with options for all music tastes from our line-up of performers and events.”
Fall Fest will include shows from Jon Gordon (October 1), Rayannah (October 1) and Curtis Nowosad (October 2); two nights (October 1 and 2) celebrating the music of Sting on the occasion of his 70th birthday with a wealth of Winnipeg talent; blues night at the King’s Head Pub with Romi Mayes and Curtis Newton; and a jazz jam that’s free of charge and open to the public at the King’s Head Pub to wrap up the fest on October 3.
