The 10th annual Potomac Jazz & Seafood Festival will take place at the St. Clement’s Island Museum in Colton’s Point, MD and serves as the largest fundraiser of the year for the museum. This riverside event takes place on the mainland and on the museum lawn that overlooks St. Clement’s Island, the Birthplace of Maryland.
In 2009, the museum will join St. Mary’s County tourism in celebrating Maryland’s 375th birthday. This year, the jazz festival features only Maryland jazz artists to highlight some of the state’s finest cultural treasures. Scheduled performers include jazz/blues vocalist Ruby Hayes at 4 p.m., smooth jazz sax man Jaared, and dynamic and multi-talented sax man Art Sherrod, Jr.
