Monmouth, NJ (June
05,2009) - Great Free Family Fun is
happening in Monmouth, New Jersey! Memorial Day has come and gone and now it’s time for the Jersey Shore’s first major festival: The Red Bank Jazz & Blues Festival. This annual extravaganza, produced by the Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation will take place from June 5 through June 7 in scenic Marine Park by the gentle and beautiful Navesink River in Red Bank, New Jersey. The Festival offers three full days and nights of jazz, blues, food, crafts and plenty of free family fun. Nearly 150,000 attendees are expected this year to enjoy some of the best Jazz and Blues music around. The Festival is one of the largest free music festivals in the Northeast. Sonny Kenn will headline on Friday, June 5 at 8:30 PM. Sonny has been burning up the Shore music scene since opening for Jerry Lee Lewis in 1965. He has performed with and influenced nearly every musician who's passed through the scene since. On Saturday, June 6 The Deanna Bogart Band will take the Main Stage at 8:30. This Maryland-based blues and boogie pianist / saxophonist combines the energy of 1930's style boogie piano blues with contemporary blues sounds emanating from places like New Orleans, Chicago and Memphis. Sunday, June 7 will showcase the talents of The Houston Person Quartet, who will close the Festival at 4:30. In the more than twenty-five years that he has been a working bandleader, Person has taken his show to most points on the globe. Other performers at the Marina Stage throughout the weekend include Jerry Topinka, Jerry Dugger and the Dugger Brothers and The Dean Shot Blues Band. This year will again feature two smaller and more intimate stages which will highlight a variety of talented artists throughout the weekend including perennial favorite and Blues Educator TJ Wheeler.
