The Chrysalis is an old friend to the Patuxent Jazz Band, where we’ve had the privilege to play many times since our founding. September 2024 saw the debut of a new festival for the venue, the Labor Day Celebration, featuring PJB alongside the Maryland Concert Band from College Park, MD, and the High & Wides bluegrass quartet. This unique event was conceived as a way to bring community music and local ensembles together in a pastoral setting in a free public concert that has a little something for most everyone.

We look forward to seeing you at our concerts!
