ST. CHARLES, IL (August 13, 2015) The Downtown St. Charles Partnership is excited to announce that the 4th Annual St. Charles Jazz Weekend is set to host free, live Jazz music September 10-13 in Downtown St. Charles. Ten venues plan to host Jazz groups for lunch, dinner, and late evening entertainment.

The ten participating venues include: Baker Memorial United Methodist Church, The Filling Station Pub & Grill, The House Pub, Nuova Italia Ristorante, Szechwan Chinese, The Jank Guitar Store, The River House Barbeque, Shakou Sushi, Valley Lodge Tavern, and The Office Dining & Spirits. The venues will host Jazz soloists to quartets that cover a range of Jazz styles complimentary for their in-house guests. Three-time Grammy Award winning Saxophonist Frank Catalano will headline at The Filling Station Pub & Grill on Thursday evening and play again at The House Pub on Saturday evening.

Lynne Schwartz, director of the Downtown St. Charles Partnership, is “excited for this year’s lineup, and pleased to once again feature Grammy Award winning artist Frank Catalano. Not only do we have some new venues this year, we have also added some new components to our 2015 Jazz Weekend. For example, DJ Ungos at Shakou will be spinning Jazz remixes, and Jank Guitar Store will host Tilky Jones, who will speak about his experiences as a musician and actor. In our 4th year producing Jazz Weekend, we are pleased to offer people new ways to enjoy the Jazz experience.”

The Kane County Chronicle and Shaw Media have again partnered with the Downtown St. Charles Partnership on this event to help reach audiences that have an interest in Jazz. This year, Fox Valley Auto Group and The Private Bank are welcomed as Gold Sponsors of St. Charles Jazz Weekend.

The Jazz Weekend lineup is as follows, with all performances and venues subject to change.
