JSJBF's MAJOR FESTIVALS, FUNDRAISERS and MUSIC SERIES
JSJBF produces one of the premiere FREE Jazz and Blues events
in the Northeast in early June, the Red Bank Jazz and Blues
Festival, which draws over 150,000 attendees.
JSJBF produces and manages a wide range of additional events throughout the year which are annually recurring and/or series events. Our Major charitable FUNDRAISER is Harpin' Help, which successfully raised funds for a number of different charitable organizations over the years.

The International Blues Challenge (IBC) will be entering its 23nd year in 2007. This is the largest gathering of blues bands in the world, with the event located in Memphis, TN. As the IBC enters its 23nd edition, it has evolved into the nation’s biggest and most respected showcase for Blues musicians ready to take their act to the national stage. The IBC is a judged “Battle of the Bands” in which competitors take the stage and play a short set for a panel of judges. The acts are judged based on an established set of criteria.
The IBC represents an international search by The Blues Foundation and its Affiliated Organizations (mostly blues societies) for the Blues Band and Solo/Duo Blues Act ready to perform on a national stage, but just need that extra break. Each Affiliate of The Blues Foundation has the right to send a band and solo/duo act to represent the organization at the IBC Semi-Finals on Beale Street in Memphis, TN. |
