July 12, SeaJamz7

The musician friends got together with four horns and a rhythm section, so seven players made sense. They play a variety of styles and genres including jazz, rock, R&B and blues.

SeaJamz7 plays Riverfront Live on July 12. The weekly event takes place in the Port Clinton Entertainment District on Fridays.
