About the BlueTone Sessions

Live music. All year round.

BlueTone doesn’t begin and end with the festival.

BlueTone Sessions is our new year-round programme of live music, bringing the spirit of BlueTone Festival into venues across Taunton and Somerset throughout the year.

The Sessions will showcase an eclectic mix of jazz, blues, soul and funk, creating more opportunities to experience brilliant live music while providing a platform for established performers, emerging artists and some of the exceptional musicians already working across our region.

From intimate evenings and stripped-back performances to full-band shows, collaborations and special one-off events, every BlueTone Session will be a little different.

Building something beyond the festival

BlueTone Festival was created with a longer-term ambition: not simply to produce one weekend of music each summer, but to help build a stronger year-round live music scene.

BlueTone Sessions is an important part of making that happen.

The programme gives us the opportunity to work with artists throughout the year, develop new audiences and create a pathway through which musicians can build relationships with BlueTone — from smaller local performances through to opportunities at the annual festival.

It also means audiences don’t have to wait until July for their next dose of BlueTone.

Be part of the Sessions

BlueTone Sessions will continue throughout the year, with new artists, venues and special events announced along the way.

Whether you joined us at BlueTone Festival or you’re discovering BlueTone for the first time, come and join us as we build the next chapter of live music in Somerset.

BlueTone Sessions. Live music doesn’t stop when the festival ends.
