2019 Jazz In The Park's First 'Country Music Night' Will Go On

MILWAUKEE, WI -- Milwaukee's Jazz in the Park will nevertheless experience an unexpected "first" for the traditionally laid-back free outdoor summer music festival.

Organizers reached out to Patch this week, saying that country artist Dylan Schneider could no longer make the July 25 date. The summer concert's organizers quickly pivoted, booking country music artist Drew Baldridge, who will take the stage on the same date, marking the first time a country artist will grace the program.

Jazz in the Park runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. every Thursday night, except the Thursdays where Summerfest is going. Happy hour starts at 5 p.m. with music starting at 6 p.m.

Jazz in the Park is free and open to the public. This year's lineup features a wide range of musical styles including jazz, big band, funk, rhythm and blues, reggae, traditional blues and more.
