Red Clay Jazz Festival

Kauai’s Red Clay Jazz Festival, August 3-6, features U.S. mainland, Oahu and Kauai jazz performers playing island-wide at different venues and culminates with an ocean-front main concert on August 6th at the Courtyard Kauai at Coconut Beach. The legendary percussionist, Pete Escevedo and his septet, from California, will headline Saturday’s concert, along with Adagio, a quartet from Oahu and Jazz Kanikapila from Kauai. Performances start at 4 p.m. and last until 9 p.m. Tent seating will be available, along with bring-your-own beach chair seating. Adding to this string of extraordinary jazz entertainment will be six food booths dishing out a variety of choices created by some of the island’s top chefs. Tickets will be on sale, starting February 15th with an early-bird rate of $40. For more information and tickets, go to Red Clay Jazz
