SoBe Jazz 2019

Live #onLincoln

The Third Annual South Beach Jazz Festival will take place throughout various venues in Miami Beach January 4, 5 and 6, 2019, with most of the events free and open to the public.

Presented by Power Access, the South Beach Jazz Festival is an event unlike any other. “The sheer talent of the artists will promote the festival’s dual goal, to entertain, and to celebrate the journey from disability to serendipity. The festival is all about bringing our community together through the universal sound of music,” said David New, president of Power Access and founder of the South Beach Jazz Festival.

David lost his sight almost two decades ago and was rendered paralyzed from the waist down for two years. Since then, he has been a staunch advocate for people with disabilities, especially with his ongoing efforts with the City of Miami Beach. Through his non-profit organizations, David has worked tirelessly to raise awareness of people with disabilities.

He is currently chairman of the Miami Beach Disability Access Committee and president and chief promoter of Power Access Inc. and Ability Explosion®. He also serves as president of the Miami Beach Council of the Blind, an affiliate of the Florida Council and the American Council of the Blind. In 2012, David took over Access Now Inc. which is an advocacy organization for enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

“As a visual artist my whole life, I was missing a component. I had to rethink everything. I got more involved in the community. I started new organizations and non-profits,” adds David.

Through Power Access and Access Now, his two non-profit organizations, David provides programs and produces experiential events centered on building awareness of the challenges faced by people with disabilities, including Dining in the Dark, Disability Awareness Day and the South Beach Jazz Festival.
