SLO Jazz Festival Kickstarter Campaign

The SLO Jazz Festival is already launched and tickets are selling briskly – especially VIP. SLO Jazz Festival wanted to expand the vision of the 2014 SLO Jazz Festival to include more businesses throughout downtown San Luis Obispo,“ explained Scott Andrews, the President of SLO Jazz Festival. "It’s always been my vision to present a Jazz in Film night, and adding a side stage of local bands will give our patrons at the jazz festival something to see and experience from the best of our local talent while the main stage is turning acts over. This guarantees patrons of the jazz festival a non-stop jazz experience during the jazz festival, and also fulfills our vision with the City to give more reasons to visit SLO all week long for the Jazz Crawl.”
