Dixieland Fest of Fun on North Oregon Coast, Feb. 22 to 24
(Seaside,
Oregon) - It's a massive festival of jittery jazz tunes, as the 25th Annual
Oregon Dixieland Jubilee gets ready to flood Seaside again with the wailing,
bouncy sounds of the original version of the genre on February 22, 23
and 24.
More than ten artists and bands from around the country will make the town jump and jive, performing at different venues throughout town - although mostly in the Seaside Convention Center.
|
Bands this year include Titan Hot Seven Jazz Band (Connecticut), Cornet Chop Suey Jazz Band (Missouri), High Sierra Jazz Band (California), Blue Street Jazz Band (California), No Inhibitions Jazz Band (Washington), Ivory & Gold (Connecticut), Jean Kittrell & The St. Louis Rivermen (Missouri), Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band (Washington), Firecracker Jazz Band (North Carolina), Night Blooming Jazzmen (California), Brady McKay & Parlor Jam (California) and Claire McKenna (Washington).
Concerts are held in three rooms at the Convention Center: the Pacific Room (where a dance floor is provided), the Necanicum Room and the River View Room. Shows are also held at the Best Western Oceanview Resort and the Elks Club, both of which have a dance floor.
