2nd Annual 24 Hours of Music Jamboree South Orange, NJ

24 Hours of Music Live Music 2018 – Live MusicBender in South Orange NJ.

The 2nd Annual 2018 24 Hours of Music Festival of Live Music started on May 5th at Noon and ran to Noon May 6th. This is a free all day, all night and all morning event where everyone is invited to come on out and watch music being made all day long in multiple locations around South Orange, NJ. This year, we added a special day of Jazz On Sloan at the South Orange Gazebo, culminating with a 4 hour jazz jam where jazz musicians and vocalists were invited to come on out and jam.

In addition to live bands all day, other special community participation events are an early afternoon Drum Circle, and R&B Community Jam, a Capoeira Music and Dance session, a later afternoon Karaoke hour where the community is invited to come on out and sing your best, an evening 2 hour DJ Dance Party where all are invited to come shake and dance your feet off.

Overnight into the wee hours of the morning folks were able to listen to a band of strays play some easy listening music, enjoy some shuffle, jump and moan at the Gazebo at starting 1 AM, then ease into some easy jazz music till 6 AM.

We then rounded out Sunday morning with some indiviudal performances with some popular music pieces, some R&B, a Sunday Morning Jazz Brunch at the Village Diner and then we closed out the final hurs of the 24 Hours, with two hours of some Blues music with some local blues heavy hitters.

A truly wonderful day of music.
