FEATURED PERFORMANCES

Thank you to Berks Jazz Fest for two Incredible Jazz-filled Weekends!

We’re exhausted but it feels so good! Here are Highlights from the Festival!

BERKS JAZZ FEST 2026! Our Artists, Tim & Carl hit the perfect notes both weekends!

TIM HUTSON performed 16 events during the Berks Jazz Fest!

  • A drummer with gray curly hair and glasses playing a drum kit in a dimly lit setting with purple and blue lighting.

    Tim Hutson is a first-call drummer, recording artist, and songwriter with years of experience playing alongside top talent. Known for his pocket and ability to quickly master any artist’s music, he’s as talented as he is easy to work with. He plays with Maysa Leak and Gerald Veasley regularly.

    Now focused on performing his own music worldwide, his latest single “Lessons Learned” is gaining traction. “Mind Over Matter” charted at 17 when it was released. Favorites like “Movin”, “Wednesday CC” and “Live and Laugh”

    Listen—tell us which one YOU like best!
