Jazz Trolley Pub Crawl Lineup Announced!
This year's Jazz Festival Trolley Pub Crawl will have eleven venues and bands. Veterans of past "trolley nights" we notice a number of new sites and performers. The venues are more tightly located in the downtown area. This will greatly reduce trolley wait time and the length of the runs between locations. Many venues are a very walkable distance from each other. Tickets give you free access to all venues and to the trolleys all night long.

Over the years, Janis’ unmistakable voice has become one of The Manhattan Transfer's most recognizable trademarks. She sang lead on some of the Transfer’s biggest hits, such as “Operator,” “Chanson D’Amour,” “Twilight Zone,” “Birdland,” “The Boy from N.Y.C.” “Spice of Life”, ”Ray’s Rockhouse”, “The Shaker Song”, “Mystery”, and co-wrote and sang lead on the Grammy winning “Sassy”. She also gained a reputation as a vocal arranger by writing five of the charts for the group’s acclaimed masterwork, Vocalese, seven charts for the group’s Grammy-winning album Brasil, and won a Grammy herself in 1980 for her arrangement of “Birdland.” In 1993, she and her Manhattan Transfer colleagues received their honorary doctorates from the Berklee School of Music, and in 1999 they were among the first class of inductees into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
Tickets buyers will be asked if they intend to be active vocalist participants.
