The Artists
Rhythm Jets
A high energy jazz/world fusion rhythm and sax driven ensemble based in Atlanta, Rhythm Jets boast an action packed lineup – featuring sax, piano, B3, lap steel and electric guitars and steel drums.
Kharisma Jazzmatic Funk
A 10 piece jazz funk band, was originally formed seven years ago in the town of Ellijay located in the North Georgia mountains. Surrounded by southern rock, country, and blue grass bands, husband and wife team, Terry and Venae Ellis, brought together a group of talented musicians who were passionate about playing jazz, R&B, and funk music.
Cadillac Jones
Cadillac Jones started in 2000, in a basement in Atlanta. The band cut its teeth performing at at clubs all over town, and graduated to touring venues around the Southeast. Now, after nearly 20 years and five albums, the band has evolved into a multi-headed funk/jazz collective with its own voice and sense of purpose. Their music is steeped in the classics like James Brown, Herbie Hancock and the Blackbyrds, spiced with influences ranging from 60’s organ grooves to 70’s arena funk, with the occasional 80’s inspired breakbeats mixed in for good measure. All this is tied together with one common thread: make sure the audience leaves with their minds relaxed and their eardrums tickled.
No coolers, no outside food or drinks.
