May 23, 2019 Youngstown, OH – On Saturday, July 13th JAC Live, The Mahoning County Convention and Visitors Bureau and the City of Youngstown will partner with The YSU Summer Festival of the Arts to present the Youngstown Wine and Jazz Fest in conjunction with the weekend’s festivities on YSU’s campus.

This will be JAC Live’s sixth year managing the event, but the efforts are shared city wide. “This event has grown to be the pinnacle of collaboration across our community, and JAC Live is fortunate to not only get to be a part of it, but to now have it grow along with our facilities in Downtown Youngstown,” said JAC Live Vice President, Ken Bigley.

The Youngstown Wine and Jazz Fest will be held in the brand new Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre, a JAC management Group Facility, which will allow for state of the art sound and production value for the performance by featured artist, Grammy award winning guitar maestro and singer Norman Brown. Brown effortlessly fuses the finer elements of jazz, R&B, pop and blues to create his own insatiable and instantly identifiable soulful sound. His unique elixir of urban contemporary jazz has allowed him to garner a devoted international following and an impressive career as a leader.
The Youngstown Wine and Jazz Fest will be a part of the Home Savings Community Event Series, and will be part of its community event programming meant to serve the entire population of the community.

JAC Live, the Mahoning County Convention and Visitors Bureau, the City of Youngstown and Youngstown State University have been working together to make the Summer Festival of the Arts a staple in residents and visitors Summer calendars. “Summer Festival of the Arts Weekend is something both local residents and visitors to our area look forward to each and every year. The Festival on the campus of YSU just seems to get better and better each year with wonderful artists and live musical performances. Having a new home for Youngstown Wine & Jazz in the fabulous new Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre just adds another element of excitement to the weekend.
