ALEXANDER CITY JAZZ FEST 2023
JUNE 9TH – 10TH
BEGINS 6 PM BOTH NIGHTS
Get ready to swing to the beat at the 33rd Annual Alex City Jazz Fest!
The free-to-attend festival is back as strong as ever June 9th and 10th, featuring a fantastic lineup of bands that will have you dancing all night long.
Friday’s lineup is strong and starts with a group from the Prattville, Alabama area – the Blackbird Pickers! This band – loaded with stand-up bass, mandolin, banjo, acoustic guitar, and keys for good measure – has played around the Lake Martin area for several years and carries a strong book of your favorite covers, plus a number of Blackbird originals! These guys will take the Strand Park stage at 6:00 pm.
At 7:30 from the Boston area is the Adam Ezra Group! Adam and his bandmates – Corinna Smith (fiddle), Alex Martin (drums), Poche Ponce (bass) – have built a community of fans through sheer grit and determination, regularly performing hundreds of shows a year for the past two decades without any major label or mainstream radio support. Fusing folk intimacy and rock energy with soul power and pop charm, the band emerged in the early 2000s and quickly garnered widespread acclaim for their bold, insightful songwriting and interactive, euphoric performances.
