After the first six months of 2020, it’s pretty safe to say we could all use a little music to help get us out of an epic funk. Fortunately, the professional musicians who make up the Fort Pierce Jazz and Blues Society are as stir crazy as you and your family, so even though we’re all still practicing safe distancing in social situations, soon you will be able to enjoy live music, libations, delicious goodies from Brooklyn Sweets, and the super sweet sounds of your favorite jazz and blues while enjoying sunset on the beautiful Indian River at the beautiful Fort Pierce Yacht Club.
We’ll get the party started with back to back Jazz Jams at 7:00 sharp on Tuesday, June 23rd and Tuesday, June 30th, and then, once everyone is warmed up, we’ll alternate Tuesday Jazz Jams at the Ft Pierce Yacht Club and provide live music from 7 to 10 p.m. on July 14th and 28th, August 11th and 25th, September 8th and 22nd, and October 13th and 27th. As part of a collaboration between Fort Pierce Jazz and Blues Society and the Fort Pierce Yacht Club, admission price will benefit Fort Pierce Jazz and Blues Society, which provides scholarships to talented, young musicians pursuing a career in music, master classes, support for other nonprofit organizations and charitable causes, and opportunities for live music (often at no charge) throughout the year in St. Lucie and surrounding counties.
If you decide to come, you can pay at the door $10 per person ($8 for members), or you can opt for a special membership rate giving you free or reduced-cost entrance into events. Either way, the downbeat is at 7:00, social distancing guidelines are being strictly adhered to, and you know you’ve been missing a chance to hear great live music performed by some of the industry’s finest professionals.
