About the event
The Modern Jazz & Soul Fest is Roots Music Project’s second annual celebration of forward-thinking jazz, soul, and contemporary improvisational music, created to fill a long-standing gap in Boulder’s live music landscape. While the region embraces roots traditions, opportunities to experience modern jazz and genre-blending soul at a high level have been limited. This festival positions Boulder as a destination for cutting-edge musicianship while remaining deeply community-centered.
Over two days, the festival presents five bands each day, with alternating sets on our main and side stages to create a continuous, immersive audience experience. The lineup blends nationally recognized artists, standout regional performers, and emerging youth talent, with intentional programming that highlights female-fronted acts and BIPOC artists.
