Seaside Jazz and Blues
an annual benefit
for the
Kyle Rieger Memorial Scholarship
These scholarship funds will help Seaside School District students pay for band camps and instrument rental or purchase. A gift will also be given to a graduating Senior intent on pursuing music in college.
The 3rd annual event is April 3-4, 2026. Patrons will enjoy listening to diverse forms of Jazz and some cool Blues from 7 bands over two days at the Seaside Convention Center.
Here’s the schedule:
FRIDAY
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
The Norman Sylvester Band
SATURDAY
12:00 PM - 9:30 PM
Times TBD - Seaside High School Jazz Band * Marilyn Keller (sings the Blues) * North Coast Jazz Collective * Dmitri Matheny (2025 fan favorite). Finishing the festival will be Carvin Jones, about whom Eric Clapton said, "Carvin Jones is a young cat out of Phoenix who I think is the next up-and-coming blues player."
