Thursday Night Jazz at Stayner's Wharf

We love Stayner's and a weekly series allows the jazz community to grab a little taste of the JazzFest every week. Each Thursday night we have a chance to hang out and listen to great music performed by some of the region’s most esteemed jazz players. Thanks to the bar's gracious owner Todd Abbass, his attentive staff and the generousity of the musicians on stage the atmosphere at Stayner's promotes surprises. Musical guests are known to pop in and jam, and festival friends are given more chances to meet and enjoy. The fabulous waterfront pub and grill dining also makes the night delightful. Cover charge may vary but is typically in the range of $5 per show.
