Jazz at the Bolt, now in its fifth year, has become an annual treasure in Burnaby, British Columbia: a music festival that celebrates diversity, community, and jazz music. With multiple stages running across two days at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, music lovers will take in all the artists on offer while spending time in a welcoming community. Hanging out with old and new friends is as much a part of the festival as the music!
Through his many jazz endeavours, festival founder Cory Weeds has fostered relationships with musicians from all over the world, especially in New York City. Presented by Weeds’ label, the Cellar Music Group, Jazz at the Bolt features many musicians from the Big Apple and beyond alongside Metro Vancouver’s talented roster of emerging and veteran artists. Weeds is proud to partner with Tim Reinert of Infidels Jazz to bring even more diverse programming to the festival.
