Dog Days and Savannah Stopover Music Festival are teaming up for the first monthly concert at The Park at Eastern Wharf in 2026!
The free concert will take place Friday, February 27, 2026 from 6-9 p.m., featuring Improvement Movement with Jalen Reyes supporting.
Depending on the day of the week, Improvement Movement might be described as a loose amalgamation of Atlanta songsmiths, a hostile corporate takeover of your dad’s favorite band, or a generous waste of time.
Food trucks TBA!
Food and drinks also available to go at bar by fleeting.
Stay tuned for details on VIP tickets!

JALEN REYES
Jalen Reyes is Savannah, Georgia’s busiest drummer. Rock show, jazz bar, songwriter’s circle, session player - all in a week’s work.
All the while, Jalen Reyes has created his own band of superstars and super recordings. After meeting Dylan Lee (Washed Out guitarist) the two almost immediately began writing and recording what was to come of their debut album Jalen’s Magic Stew. With the help of Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster producer), JR and the band created a lush country and soul portrait of Savannah, filled with sax, string arrangements, church bells, and Bible verses that sounds equal parts Bill Withers and The Band.
The band continues to play, write, self-record and dive further into the possibilities of the project. Jazz, funk, and Savannah itself are some of the main influences that feature along with the enormous voice and insane chops of the man behind the kit. Savannah’s own Levon Helm: Jalen Reyes.
