NORTH BEND, Ore. -Bringing the good vibes back to the Bay Area for another year is the 22nd Annual South Coast Clambake Jazz Festival.

Thursday evening was the warm-up concert for a big weekend full of music and dancing.  Turning up the amp this year is the Mill Casino Hotel paired with the Red Lion Hotel, that's hosting more than a dozen bands during the three day festival.
    
Kicking off the occasion with a little rhythm and blues was none other than the local band, Soulpie.  You can catch a variety of acts to continue Friday, March 12, through Sunday March 14, as well as some era-specific dance lessons and demonstrations.
