This will be Kelle and Will’s second trip to perform at the festival. They were there last in 2006. Getting the opportunity to perform in Japan was a goal they both shared. Kelle feels that, “Japan reminds us to live our dreams. Being able to share what you love with whom you love is a great blessing, whether it’s between two cities or two people.”

The 2006 performance consisted of a duo performance and a combo performance with a group 13yr old jazz students from Sapporo. This year’s performance will include some of the same students.

Musicians who participate in this exchange are financially responsible for their trip. However, a stipend is awarded at the festival that covers some expenses. Donations towards the trip would be greatly appreciated.

Jolly Boy Entertainment is a music entertainment company that offers the services of Kelle Jolly and Will Boyd for public and private events where Jazz, Blues and Soul music is requested.
