Current Gigs

Just Jazz musicians are performing in various venues almost every night of the week. Because most of these gigs are either for corporate functions, private parties or weddings, the opportunities to see and hear us live are, unfortunately, limited.  

However, over the course of any given month, Vinson does perform publicly in various circumstances: restaurants, jazz clubs, lounges, etc.  Any current public gig that comes up will be posted here for your information (please check back as new gigs are always popping up at the last minute).  Drop by any of the gigs below, say hello, and enjoy the jazz!
