Jazz and blues have always gone hand in hand. You can’t really talk about one without the other. The blues gave jazz its feel—its swing, its phrasing, its way of telling real stories. From the very beginning, it’s been the common language beneath the music.

Today, on International Jazz Day, we’re lifting the curtain just a little.

We’re thrilled to tease the 2026 artist line‑up for Devonport Jazz and Devonport Blues & Roots as we head into the 25th edition of Devonport Jazz.

We invite you to slow down, listen and connect as we explore the people and ideas behind our region’s evolving story. Enjoy tea and coffee in the welcoming surroundings of Home Hill as we share conversations that illuminate Tasmania’s past, present and future.

While the fire may be virtual, the sense of warmth, connection, and shared experience is very real.
