UPCOMING EVENTS
Think SWING! 2008 (Nov 7-9) is our best attempt yet to reach that goal, with artists coming from as far away as Sweden, New Orleans, Austin, and New York, along with regional musicians from Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, B.C, and a host of musicians who regularly grace the Spokane landscape in our home city. We've also moved to larger venues to accommodate more guests, including the Davenport Hotel's Marie Antoinette Ballroom, The The Knitting Factory Concert House, and The Spokane Masonic Center, and we've incorporated satellite events at The Panida Theatre in Sandpoint, Idaho. Another first for 2008 is the inclusion of a Downtown Spokane night club circuit of the best in Spokane night life, entitled the Think SWING! River of Music in honor of our presenting sponsor, Spokane's River 99.9FM. In sum, we'll be offering more than 10 different venues featuring at least 20 individual performances (many of which will be all-ages), making 2008 our most exciting event thus far!
We invite you to join us again in 2008 for the Think SWING! Jazz and Blues Festival! Whether on the dance floor, at a table for two, or in one of the dreamy lounges of Spokane, we're preparing a place for you to Think SWING!
