Naptown Sound - Indy Jazz Fest 2024

Naptown Sound at Indy Jazz Fest is a celebration of the music of our city. With performances by the musicians and vocalists who keep Indy alive with the music all year long, it is a night to thank these artists and to enjoy the jazz community at its finest in support of live music. I am proud to say we can no longer truly call our town Naptown.
