| Mission Bay Jazz and Blues Streetfest comes to Auckland One of Auckland's most popular annual music events will be celebrating its tenth anniversary in the New Zealand capital next month. The Mission Bay Jazz and Blues Streetfest is due to take place on Saturday February 27th, when the waterfront area will host over 20 bands and musicians from around the world. Artists scheduled to perform at this year's festival include Auckland blues trio Los Diablos, Australian honky tonk piano player Jan Preston and Japanese multi-instrumentalist Miho Wada. There will also be an appearance from Stingray and the Blues All Stars, a band featuring the legendary guitarist Glenn Ross Campbell. People staying in Auckland hotels may like to take this opportunity to experience the area of Mission Bay, which is situated along the Eastern Beaches of Tamaki Drive. The suburb features a popular stretch of cafes and restaurants, with much of the area being closed off to traffic during the festival, allowing the bands to perform on the street. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Jazz News :: home page |
