Being a show with predominately older attendees over 50 years old median age 48 years old we have the benefit of hosting an audience with first availability and accessibility to the new vaccines across the nation, said festival founder Mark Carter, owner of WSBZ-FM The Seabreeze Smooth Jazz 106.3. Many of our fans say they are coming fully vaccinated and ready for some good music.
