The CFJB has been a launching pad for many great contemporary performers, well-known to Tri-State audiences; artists including Peter and Will Anderson, Ricky Alexander, and Geoff Gallante.

Paris Washboard debuts at Tri-State!  The band was founded in 1988, evolving from the rich tradition of European/international appreciation for 'modern American jazz' as it was originally experienced and played in the decades of the 1920's and 1930's.  They are international festival favorites, and recent U.S. engagements include Jeff and Joel’s House Party.  Don’t miss these outstanding performers in a rare U.S. Appearance!! Mark your calendar for February 23rd in Haddonfield.
