The Knox-Rootabaga Jazz Festival is adapting and returning this year with live, in-person performances after canceling the 40th-anniversary celebration last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Featured performers for the event, which will also be shown online on April 16 and 17, are Soul Message and Greg Ward’s Rogue Parade.
Andy Crawford, managing director of the Knox Jazz Year, says in a release that, “we’re very happy to be able to continue sharing and celebrating music with the Knox and Galesburg communities and beyond.”
Because of the ongoing pandemic, this year’s festivities will look different with a limited number of people being permitted at the live performance.
