Evolution of the Blues

Don’t miss this extraordinary collaboration between Desert Blues Revival and the co-founder and Artistic Director of festivals, including the Palm Springs Women’s Jazz Festival, Juneteenth Jazz Fest, and the Sunset Music Fest, offering a special treat celebrating Black History Month. Sweet Baby J’ai, renowned as a singer, composer, and producer, presents an exclusive experience—a new show seamlessly blending music, drama, and visual arts to explore the “Evolution of the Blues.”

Derived from her original “The History of Women in Blues,” this interactive experience immerses audiences in a journey through the roots of Da’ Blues, the vibrant rise of the Harlem Renaissance, and the turbulence of the sixties and beyond. The tribute pays homage to some of the most iconic singers in jazz and blues, all while celebrating the richness of Black history and culture.

Please save the date for this extraordinary event, paying homage to the diverse stories and contributions that shape our shared American heritage. Joining Sweet Baby J’ai are some of the most talented musicians on the West Coast, and special surprise guest appearances will ensure an unforgettable evening of entertainment and cultural celebration open to everyone!
