The annual Rubber City Jazz and Blues Festival will take place from September 7-9, 2023, in Akron-area venues such as BLU Jazz+, Baxter’s Speakeasy, Musica, the Mustill Store, Downtown Akron Main Library, and the Goodyear Theater.

In the past, we have engaged performers such as Norman Brown, Robert Glasper, the late Joey Difrancesco, Sean Jones, Quennel Gaskin, Sullivan Fortner, Glenn Zaleski, Ghost Note, and others.
