Thursday, September 24, 2026 · 5–10 PM · TPC Monterey at Pasadera. One unforgettable evening of rock, rhythm & blues and light jazz — performed by an ensemble of touring and recording artists from across the music industry. Top Monterey student musicians from MPUSD schools will be performing live at the start of the evening.
Benefiting Monterey Peninsula Public Schools Music and Arts & Meniere's Disease Research and Awareness in partnership with the Fair Education Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization.
LOCATION: TPC Monterey at Pasadera • 100 Pasadera Dr, Monterey
The evening unfolds across two of Pasadera’s most beautiful spaces: the open-air Spanish Rose Courtyard, where most of the night happens, and the Bishop Ranch Ballroom, home to an intimate indoor Jazz Lounge with multiple seating areas and close-up performances. Wander between them, drink in hand, and let the music carry the night — then bid on one-of-a-kind finds at our spectacular silent auction.
This is not a local cover band. It’s an accumulation of the music industry’s best — players with recording and studio careers and stages shared with some of the biggest names in music — joined by a few of the Peninsula’s own finest. Expect rock and rhythm & blues at the core, with light jazz woven throughout.

Each artist brings a recording and touring résumé of their own.
I, unfortunately, suffer from Meniere’s disease, a debilitating hearing and vertigo disorder that caused me to prematurely leave singing and performing.
There is no cure for Meniere’s at this time. I wish I could attend MusicFest Monterey to help raise funds for research and awareness of Meniere’s and to raise money for Monterey public school music programs. I strongly support this program and encourage all music lovers to do so as well. It’ll be a great night of music for 2 great causes.
