SFJAZZ ANNOUNCES FALL/WINTER 2025 LINEUP FOR FRIDAYS LIVE 

Premiering every Friday at 7:30 p.m. PT, these live broadcasts bring the energy of SFJAZZ directly to viewers around the world.

SFJAZZ has announced the fall/winter 2025 lineup for Fridays Live, its weekly series of live concert broadcasts streamed directly from the SFJAZZ Center to audiences around the world via its video streaming service, SFJAZZ At Home. Premiering every Friday at 7:30 p.m. PT (with encores on Saturdays at 11 am PT and available on-demand the following week), this series features an eclectic mix of world-renowned jazz legends, rising stars, and genre-defying artists performing live from the SFJAZZ Center as part of the 2025-26 Season.
 
Initially launched in 2020, Fridays Live features the “Artist Fund” where viewers can give directly to the musicians onstage. To date, the fund has sent over $1.1M to artists. During Friday premieres, viewers can also join a live chat – connecting with fellow music fans across the world and with an SFJAZZ chat moderator who provides insights about the music. Additionally, viewers can explore hundreds of archived SFJAZZ concerts in its on-demand library, plus interviews and talks with artists, educational shorts, and more!
 
To sign up to Fridays Live, visit SFJAZZ.org/AtHome or download the SFJAZZ At Home app (recently awarded “App of the Day” by the Apple App Store) on mobile, tablet, or smart TV. While most video content on SFJAZZ At Home is free to the public, Fridays Live is available to SFJAZZ members. Digital membership starts as low as $7.50/month.
 
“Our goal with Fridays Live is to make the magic of live performance accessible to audiences everywhere while also providing additional funds to the artists we present,” said Ross Eustis, SFJAZZ Director of Digital. “Whether you're across the San Francisco Bay Area or across the globe, this series brings the spirit of the SFJAZZ Center straight to your screen.”
