Songs by the River at the Hilton Garden Inn, Saturday Sept. 19!
Featuring FARAYI MALEK — LIVE AT THE EJBF MAINSTAGE!
The Eagle Jazz & Blues Fest is thrilled to welcome acclaimed vocalist, composer, and educator Farayi Malek and her band for two MainStage performances Saturday, September 19, in the Eagle River Room at the Hilton Garden Inn.
Farayi is the perfect artist for this year’s “Grassroots and Grooves” theme. She describes herself as an American roots artist, having grown up playing country, old-time, and bluegrass fiddle before discovering jazz in high school.
Her musical journey eventually took her to the New England Conservatory, the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, and performances around the world with Danilo Pérez’s Global Messengers. Her professional work has contributed to projects receiving Grammy nominations, and today she is also a highly regarded professor at Berklee College of Music.
From American roots to contemporary jazz, Farayi brings it all together with an extraordinary voice, adventurous musicianship, and plenty of groove.
Two shows. One incredible night.

Come hear why Grassroots and Grooves is more than a theme—it’s what happens when great American musical traditions meet jazz!
