This series provides a network of connection for area blues lovers and builds upon the Blues Education program by encouraging youth participation. Admission is FREE! 

JW Gilmore is a master storyteller, a demon on the harp, a well-versed musician, and—above all—a showman extraordinaire. From slow, gritty blues to frenetic swing, JW keeps audiences laughing, smiling, and dancing into the night. He has been playing harmonica for over 20 years, from Baton Rouge to Ft. Lauderdale, playing with greats like Tabby Thomas, Chris Thomas King, Louisiana Red, Todd Hart, and Joey Gilmore.

Joining JW for this intimate back yard gathering will be Beulah Mae & Professor Quasar!

As this annual series grows in popularity, it’s suggested that you bring a spare chair, just in case the provided seating fills up. 


The A. Quinn Jones Museum & Cultural Center, housed in the former Jones Family home at 1013 NW 7th Avenue in Gainesville, serves as a tribute to one of the most influential educators in the history of Alachua County. The Museum features a permanent exhibit on “Prof” Jones, the people and places of the Fifth Avenue/Pleasant Street neighborhood, and houses a collection of oral histories centering on the African-American experience in Gainesville.

Celebrate International Blues Music Day in Historic Dunnellon Florida on August 2, 2025


A Conversation with 
the Blues 

Dunnellon Historical Depot
12061 S Williams St, Dunnellon, FL 34432
Celebrate International Blues Music Day!

Saturday, August 2, 2025 | 7-10pm | $10 at Door
w/ EDDIE LeFEBVRE of FOGHAT!

Keith Caton is a seasoned electric blues guitarist and bandleader based in central Florida, known for his deep roots in the genre and dynamic live performances. Originally the driving force behind Florida’s renowned Bluzbusters for over a decade, Caton later founded the Accelerators in the late 1990s to explore his own vision of hard-driving electric blues. Today, the Keith Caton Blues Band continues that legacy, showcasing a repertoire that spans classics by Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, and B.B. King, as well as Caton originals. The group regularly headlines festivals and community events—from the Two Rivers Music Festival Food Truck Rally in Dunnellon to the Inverness Blues Revue—drawing on decades of festival appearances and collaborations, including performances with Sheba the Mississippi Queen. Audiences appreciate the band’s engaging stage presence and strong connection to blues history, underscored by Caton’s twenty-year stint playing with Bo Diddley. Whether at intimate club gigs or larger outdoor events, the Keith Caton Blues Band brings authentic, energetic blues to Florida’s live music circuit.

Eddie LeFebvre has been a vital member of the Foghat team since 1989, originally joining as a guitar tech before expanding his role to include percussion and backing vocals. Over the past three decades, he has become a consistent and dynamic presence on stage, contributing to the band’s signature boogie-rock sound with rhythmic depth and energetic support. Known for his engaging performance style, LeFebvre adds texture to live renditions of classic hits like “I Just Want to Make Love to You,” earning praise from both fans and fellow musicians. In addition to his onstage work, he remains an integral part of the band’s touring operation, including recent performances in support of Foghat’s 2023–24 tour and their 17th studio album, Sonic Mojo.

~ AND ~

For any blues fan, catching Sheba The Mississippi Queen's live show is a must! With a soulful voice that can move mountains and a stage presence that captivates, Sheba brings the authentic spirit of the blues to  life. Her performances are a dynamic blend of raw emotion and skillful  musicianship reflecting her sharecropping childhood in Sunflower, MS - the cradle of the blues - creating an unforgettable experience for the audience.  Whether she's belting out a classic or introducing her own powerful  originals, Sheba's passion for the blues shines through.

TOOTS LORRAINE

FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE – Invite your friends!

The North Central Florida Blues Society is excited to bring Toots Lorraine & The Traffic to Gainesville for the first time! This powerhouse group is led by the husband-and-wife duo of Toots Lorraine and guitarist Chad Dant, who share a deep dedication to preserving the heart and soul of the Blues.

Toots Lorraine’s rich, velvety vocals ride effortlessly atop the band’s vintage grooves, drawing inspiration from the classic blues of Big Mama Thornton, Howlin’ Wolf, and Big Joe Turner, while delivering bold new originals that sound like Memphis Minnie gems you’ve never heard before. Their sound blends old-school West Coast Jump Blues and Swing with gut-bucket soul that’s both authentic and energizing.

The band features the outstanding piano stylings of Jim McKaba, known for his work with Little Mike & the Tornadoes and the Josh Miller Blues Revue. With upright bass, hollow body guitars, harmonicas, pianos, organs, and dripping reverb, this train doesn’t stop until the last note. Once aboard, you’ll be saying, “I ain’t getting off this train.”

Opening the show is the Root Redemption Duo — Alan Yeatter and Gus Olmos — a Delta- and Chicago-inspired blues act that has twice represented North Central Florida at the International Blues Challenge. Their high-energy acoustic set includes timeless standards and compelling original songs that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the classics.

Don’t miss this night of unforgettable live Blues at one of Gainesville’s most beloved listening rooms!
