Summertime festivals are on their way and the Blues and Jazz Fest just announced the headliners for the main stage. 

The Blues and Jazz Fest takes place on Aug. 1 and 2 in Frontier Park with a variety of musical acts and vendors all day. 

Bywater Call will be the headliner on Saturday. Hailing from Toronto, the band blends soul, roots, and rock in energetic live performances. They have toured extensively in Europe and North America. 

The Lao Tizer Band will headline Sunday. The band, led by keyboardist Lao Tizer, blends genres with a jazz foundation. 

Stay tuned for more announcements in the coming weeks, including acts on the Rhythm Valley stage and the food and art vendors at the Blues and Jazz Fest website.
