BucketList plays at Vaughan Mall Stage

In an effort to bring live jazz music to the community, each summer the Seacoast Jazz Society sponsors outdoor jazz performances in downtown Portsmouth, with the goal of expanding this program to other seacoast communities. The musicians are all professional jazz musicians dedicated to increasing awareness and enthusiasm for this very special artform.

2:30pm - Second Line Sundays Brass Band
Taking the spirit and energy of a traditional New Orleans Sunday second line, this up-and-coming brass band brings the groove straight to the streets of New England. Featuring band members Max Lalos, Jackson Lalos, Chase Whelan, and Virginia Borrelli, the group aims to encapsulate the infectious, danceable energy that can only be found in the 504.
