Pioneer Valley Jazz Shares is a 15-year-old nonprofit bringing extraordinary music to venues throughout western Massachusetts. We borrow the farm share or CSA funding model and rely on over 100 neighbors who buy “jazz shares” before our season begins in September. Along with the support of local businesses, shareholders make it possible to guarantee artist fees and cover other expenses. We then enjoy 25 concerts together featuring some of the most creative artists on the planet. Find out more about Jazz Shares at: www.jazzshares.org.
