One of the best known music festivals on the Oregon Coast is just a short time away. The 2012 South Coast Clambake Jazz Festival is March 9-11, 2012 in various venues in Coos Bay & North Bend.
A “clambake” is a jam session- not a food festival (though we have plenty of those coming up). That doesn’t mean that you can’t get good seafood while you are here! Click here to see a list of local restaurants to try during your visit.
The 2012 theme is “More than Just Jazz” and features Big Band, Zydeco, Blues, Gospel, Oldies, Rock & Roll and Swing sounds- and of course dancing!
Some of our most popular regional musicians will be performing including Soulpie, Gator Beat, Stompy Jones, Coup d’Bop, Peter Krebs Trio, Sister Swing, Young Bucs, Evolution Jazz Band /Youth Bands, The Stolen Sweets, Tom Rigney & Flambeau, It’s About Time, Big Band High Street Band and Big Skies Big Band.
