Wreckhouse Jazz and Blues Festival

Wreckhouse speaks to the undeniable force of nature – the wind. St. John’s’ awe-inspiring landscape and hurricane force winds are truly legendary. Like jazz and blues, Wreckhouse has a fierce, powerful energy. It is strong and tough and distinct. It’s genuine and authentic.

The Wreckhouse International Jazz & Blues Festival (formerly the St. John’s Jazz Festival) was formed in April 2003 and features over 100 jazz, blues and world music performers for five days in multiple venues around St. John’s.

Recent performers include: Adonis Puentes, Elizabeth Shepherd, Shuffle Demons, Holly Cole, Matt Andersen, and Brianna Gosse.
