The Southern Oregon Music Festival is a 501c3 non-profit organization.
Medford is host to the Southern Oregon Music Festival (formerly Medford Jazz Festival) one of the most popular Festivals on the Pacific Northwest. The Festival's name has evolved over the years; from the Medford Jazz Jubilee (1988-2009), the Medford Jazz Festival (2009-2014) to the Southern Oregon Music Festival (2014), representing the array of musical styles. Beginning 2:00 p.m. Friday, September 29, 2017 until the finale’s conclusion at 4:00 p.m. Sunday, October 1, 2017, more than a dozen bands will perform a total of 85 sets of dance-able music at four distinct venues, all within seven blocks in downtown Medford. Hundreds of hours of musical entertainment, from jump jive, blues, doo w*p, rockabilly, swing, zydeco, R&B, funk, and rock ‘n’ roll to jazz of all styles, are performed by the nation's top festival bands from the east coast to the west. SOMF has attracted bands from 27 states, the same number of years it’s been staging festivals. Its intimate venues and the appreciation of our audiences are credited for enticing talented festival musicians, most of whom perform at many of the 130 other festivals around the country. An All-Event ticket will allow you to enjoy any venue and band for all three days of the Festival. For more information, call 866-448-1948.
