My name is Kelle Jolly. I am a jazz musician, and the host of Jazz Jam with Kelle Jolly on WUOT 91.9FM. I am also the founder of the Women  in Jazz Jam Festival.  This year, I am presenting the Women in Jazz Jam Festival, March 16-17, 2018 in Knoxville, TN.

The Women in Jazz Jam Festival Band will return to the Knoxville Museum of Art’s Alive After Five on Friday, March 16. The first year, this concert was standing room only, and broke Alive After Five attendance records. 
On Saturday afternoon, patrons can attend a panel discussion on women in music. At Saturday night’s concert, three bands will perform at the Emporium Center. Jazz musicians from across our region and beyond, will be performing, including violinist, Diane Monroe. Diane Monroe will be the featured guest with Ensemble Swingtime, led by Deidre Ford. The concert is from 5:30pm-9:30pm. 

To be successful, sponsors who share a vision of a stronger arts community are needed. Our goal this year is to build a bigger audience for female jazz musicians, while showing people that Knoxville is a travel destination for jazz shows. Last year’s festival attracted guests from Ohio, Atlanta, and New York.
