SPEC Jazz & Grooves organizes 2-3 concerts a semester to expose Penn students and the greater Philadelphia community to up-and-coming artists. It aims to uplift diverse artists of different genres and identities. The shows are open to both Penn students and the local public.

Past talent includes Faye Webster, Indigo De Souza, Luna Li, Eartheater, Okay Kaya, Perfume Genius, Moses Sumney, 100 gecs, SiR, Choker, Omar Apollo, Tierra Whack, Smino, and EARTHGANG, among others.

Jazz & Grooves also offer a chill community for students to hang out and talk about music, such as hosting listening parties, attending concerts together, and collaborating on a Spotify playlist. As a committed general body member, you will have the opportunity to attend the concert for free and participate in meet-and-greet with the artist behind stage.

“not a lot of jazz, but a whole lot of grooves...”

“we know what you like before you like it.”
