The Charleston Jazz Festival returns this Thurs. Jan. 23-Sun. Jan. 26, with performances held at several venues around town. The three days of jazz music will see Regina Carter, Jane Monheit, Freddy Cole, and more perform.

Now in its sixth year, the Charleston Jazz Festival is an annual series of performances hosted by local music advocates Charleston Jazz. In previous years, the festival has seen jazz heavyweights like Kenny G headline.

The first night of the festival will be local band night, with Offramp, Cameron & the Saltwater Brass, and Lee Barbour’s Polyverse playing at Forte Jazz Lounge.

Tickets for the festival can be purchased on Charleston Jazz’s website.
