The Apollo Amateur Night debuted in 1934 and launched the careers of jazz greats such as Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan and is still today the world’s quintessential talent competition. The show marries world-class talent with a distinctive, vaudeville-like atmosphere, spurred on by audience participation as contestants vie to become tomorrow’s Billie, Duke, Miles or Ella. Who will be the next Apollo legend? Who will win the $10,000 grand prize? At Amateur Night, you tell the performers to be good or be gone!

In celebration of the week-long Harlem Jazz Shrines Festival, special music guests for the evening are Nicole Henry and Matthew Whitaker.


Contestants for this show are the following: 3rd Element II, Chaude' Taylor, Chronicle Atlantic Symphony, David Tauler, The Professor, Alyssa White, Devastation Kidz and Final Outlaw.
