Alexander City Jazz Fest – 32

Saturday night’s show will have an American Idol vibe with Tristen Gressett scheduled to open the festivities at the Lake Martin Amphitheater. Returning to Alabama after making the Top 11 on the most recent American Idol, the 17‐year‐old Gressett has a soulful retro rock n’ roll spirit and has already released his first EP. The middle act of the second night will be Joslyn & The Sweet Compression, who deliver a hook‐filled mix of funk and soul that continues to captivate audiences with their stirring live performances. To round out the 32nd edition of the Alexander City Jazz Fest will be Alabama native and former American Idol winner, Taylor Hicks , who will bring excitement to the stage with his soulful vocals and talented group of bandmates for an up‐tempo, high‐energy closer. Plan to be with us on the grassy lawn at The AMP on Saturday. Bring the family and friends, coolers are welcome and don’t forget your chair or blanket! We all love our pets, but we do ask that you leave them at home.
