We’re thrilled to announce that Ghost-Note will headline the 2026 Charles River Jazz Festival!

Led by 7-time Grammy Award winner Robert “Sput” Searight, Ghost-Note features musicians who have performed and recorded with Prince, Kendrick Lamar, Herbie Hancock, Snarky Puppy, Marcus Miller, Kirk Franklin, and other icons.

Their live shows are a tour de force of funk, with dazzling solos and airtight arrangements that will have you dancing while shaking your head in awe. This massive percussion- and horn-driven band delivers a “mind-blowing healing sensation” that is positively, unapologetically funky.
