It's been a busy year for Pony Boy Records and we're very proud to announce the date for the Fourth Annual Jazz Picnic. Returning to Magnuson Park on Sunday afternoon, September 9, by overwhelming popular demand, the label is bringing another great line-up for this years' Jazz Picnic featuring some of the Northwest's finest jazz from the Pony Boy Records stable of artists.
For the fourth straight year, join us for an entire afternoon of great jazz at Sand Point Magnuson Park's Garden Amphitheatre. Pack a picnic or grab a gourmet dog from Dante's (one our favorite food vendors) and groove to performances by some of the Northwest's top jazz artists in the lovely setting of the Garden Amphiteatre.

History: In September 2004, Pony Boy Records celebrated our tenth anniversary by producing the first Jazz Picnic and it proved to be a very successful event for our community of jazz fans, our sponsors and the many jazz artists performing at Magnuson Park. This year we are expecting a record attendance at this one-of-a-kind jazz concert. Winner of the 2006 Earshot Jazz Award for contributions to Seattle's jazz scene, Pony Boy Records is an independent jazz and swing label based in Seattle. With a sucessful history of over 50 releases to date, each Pony Boy project is a partnership between the artist and the label, each with dynamic style and a jazz energy!

Also look for a full line-up of great local sponsors, including KPLU FM88.5
