Sioux Falls Jazz & Blues

In 1987 the Sioux Falls Jazz Society was founded by a small group of community-minded citizens with a common passion for jazz music. It simply began with informal gatherings of jazz artists coming together to jam and collaborate. This common passion grew into wanting an expansion to the live music venues and genres present in the city of Sioux Falls. In 1988, the first jazz festival was organized and for the next few years various locations were attempted for other jazz concerts. It was in 1992 the organization changed its name to the Sioux Falls Jazz and Blues Society (SFJB) and became incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. SFJB continually strives to enhance the quality of artists brought to Sioux Falls and seeks to find opportunities to educate others. A big thank SFJB supporters, sponsors and the community alike!
