Join us for an evening of music blending traditional Indigenous culture with contemporary sounds with Toronto-based singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer NADJIWAN (aka Marc Meriläinen)
From its inauguration in the Spring of 1996, The Barrie Jazz And Blues Festival has grown to become one of the most exciting, highly-anticipated musical exhibition in Simcoe County and northern York Region.
We hope you find this to be an enjoyable musi-cultural experience.
