Jazz on Jay returns to Schenectady this summer with an exciting lineup of family friendly acts. The lunchtime concerts will be held at a new location this year, the outdoor venue at Jay Square.
Located across from City Hall, Jay Square offers an improved sound and overall experience. Every Thursday at noon, top singers and instrumentalists from across the region bring their bands to Jay Street.
Lanaea Brice, the new chair of the beloved series, described it as, “a lively celebration of our shared love for harmony, community, and the pure bliss of gathering together.”
The rain location remains at Robb Alley at Proctors, 32 State Street, Schenectady. This year, souvenir tumblers will also be available for purchase while supplies last. Spectators are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs, and to enjoy the many nearby restaurants. A full list of performances is available below, and admission is free!
