Six Friday nights with free, musical entertainment at the Oakland waterfront

Oakland, Calif. – July 19, 2024: Live music is coming to Jack London Square (the Square). The annual Summer Music Series delivers free entertainment for all visitors to the Square.

Al Marshall’s Jazzaholics is a trio of world-class musicians who are based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Mirage features smooth jazz vocals, a signature sound, and one of the Bay Area’s most sought-after performing groups for events. Since 1985, they have won over fans and crowds with their soft, sultry style of music, professionalism and talent.

Preston J Turner and Pure Ecstasy is a long-standing choice for Bay Area event music and entertainment. Pure Ecstasy has performed nationally and internationally for over fifteen years.
