We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on June 6, 2012.

Many thanks - 70% funded!

Update #1 · May 13, 2012 · comment

Thank you so much - with your help the Red Hook Jazz Festival has reached 70% of it's $1500 goal in less than a week.

RHJF was also chosen as a staff pick by Kickstarter!  Very cool.

Please spread the word to anyone you know who is interested in jazz or the arts in general - the past five years of the Red Hook Jazz Festival shows what a small and dedicated volunteer group can pull off when they love music and believe in keeping this art form alive and kicking!

We thought you might enjoy a look back at some past RHJF shows which are held in a beautiful outdoor space on the Brooklyn waterfront.

All the best, 

Mike Golub and Paul DeLucia, big bang productions
