The Dynamic Miss Faye Carol, Tiffany Austin and Zydeco star Andre Thierry are among the musicians performing ay Bay Area Juneteenth Celebrations.
Born as an African American folk jubilee in the years after the Civil War, Juneteenth has slowly gained acknowledgement as a second Independence Day, marking an essential leap toward providing in the freedom promised in the the United States’ founding.
The deep roster also features the soulful zydeco of Andre Thierry, the commanding blues of Alvon Johnson, and roots reggae from of Kava Jah and the Remedy. A kids zone offers a rock-climbing wall, skating, and STEM activities, while art programs for young children include dance, storytelling, slides, jumpy houses, clowns, face painting and art projects coordinated by community organizations.
The location of the biggest Juneteenth event in the region, musically speaking, might come as a surprise. On June 15, the Healdsburg Jazz Festival presents music and family activities on the Healdsburg Plaza, a free all-day event with a triple bill led by Lafayette-reared trombone great Steve Turre. At 75, with his long braids and Fu Manchu moustache, he’s a readily recognizable figure from his nearly four-decade run in the Saturday Night Live Band.
While the main musical offerings run from 3-8:30 p.m. Healdsburg Jazz presents numerous activities and performances encompassing an array of Black music and art including gospel, early blues, New Orleans jazz, funk, R&B, and spoken word, performances. The festival also offers arts, crafts, and music workshops in the plaza for families and young people led by teaching artists. More information is at healdsburgjazz.org.
