Photos and live updates from WEMU at the Festival courtesy of "The In Crowd's" Jessica Webster and WEMU Music Director Linda Yohn. Special thanks to photographer and Development Coordinator, Marilyn Gouin for taking so many great photos during the festival. You can see the complete gallery of her photos here.

Linda Yohn simply cannot remember a day in her life that was not filled with music. Her early life was full of changes as the daughter of a well-respected cancer research scientist who moved his family about, but one thing was constant: the love of music instilled by her mother. So, when it seemed life was too hard to bear, young Linda would listen to her radio, play her guitar, dance her heart out and sing at the top of her lungs. So, it isn’t so strange that “older” Linda still does all those things!
Jessica has been a record store clerk, a Denny’s waitress, a newspaper reporter, a science writer, a mom, a higher education communicator, a radio host and (and one time) one of the most powerful people in the jazz industry.
