Jazz on State returns to The Forum (previously 30 On The Square) tomorrow, bringing a month-long residency of free outdoor jazz concerts to the 100 block of State Street.

🎷 The lineup

Kicking off tomorrow, six artists + bands will take the stage to play weekly jazz shows throughout the month of June. Let’s get to swinging.

Wed., June 8:

5:30 p.m. | Mr. Chair
6:45 p.m. | New Orleans Tribute Band

Wed., June 15:

5:30 p.m. | The Charlie Painter Jazz Guitar Trio
6:45 p.m. | Betsy Ezell Quintet

Wed., June 22:

5:30 p.m. | Mike Cammilleri Organ Trio
6:45 p.m. | The Donna Woodall Group

In case of rain: the June 8 event will be moved to North Street Cabaret, 610 North St. and the June 15 + 22 events to The Majestic Theatre, 115 King St.

🪑 Pull up a seat

Guests can reserve a table for up to eight — rentable tables are available for $150/show or $400 for the series. Please request at least two days in advance, so plan ahead for next week’s concert.

Concert-goers are also welcome to bring your own seating, or rent chairs to support the event. But we have a feeling you might be on your feet grooving away to the tunes.
