There’s way more to Stingray than working hard. Life at Stingray is also about getting together for some well-deserved fun in the sun (when you live in Montreal, you take all the sun you can get!)

Jazzamboka have been named the Stingray Rising Star Award winners at Montreal International Jazz Festival 2017!

The TD Jazz Youth Summit at Ottawa Jazz Festival is one of Stingray's favourite Rising Star programs. The summit allows young jazz musicians from across Canada to learn from and perform with amazing established talent at a real festival. To learn more about the program head to the festival's website.

All That Matters - Asia's largest festival of media and entertainment - returns to Singapore this September 9-13, 2017. Part business conference part music festival, the event features a global line-up of business leaders as keynote speakers and music bands from across the world. Don't miss the opportunity to hear from and connect with the leaders in entertainment across the Music, Sports, Gaming, Online and Marketing tracks.

One ticket buys you access to 5 nights of music, 3 days of conference and one All That Matters experience!

It doesn’t matter if you have the tinniest of urban balcony or a sprawling deck, the most important element of any good BBQ party is always the music.

We have been huge fans of the Arkells since their appearance on Stingray PausePlay. We were thrilled to have them guest program a channel this month! They are one of Canada’s most exciting bands right now. The group’s genuine and intimate songs walk the line between humour and melancholy. Listen to their rock ‘n soul tracks and a selection of their personal favourites.

The 2017 edition of the North Sea Jazz Festival started with long lines at the Ahoy Rotterdam. But the beautiful weather had everyone was in a good mood and no one complained about the extra security.

The combination of free and non-free concerts draws an enormously varied audience: men and women of all ages flock to enjoy the diversity that contemporary jazz has to offer.

Over 80,000 people descended upon Sefton Park in Liverpool over the two days that Africa Oyé. Some drummed. Some drank. All of them danced.

Stingray selected their best pictures to show a few Festival International de Jazz de Montréal highlights!  

In 1987, the San Francisco Chronicle noted the 20th anniversary with several articles, including this one, which I’ve edited for space. I have not updated it but should note that since then, we’ve lost three of the people I spoke with: Bill Graham, Jerry Garcia, and Paul Kantner.

While Europe's Montreux Jazz Festival has already kicked off and the North Sea Jazz Festival is about to begin, their Canadian counterpart has started its 38th edition: the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal!
