The North Central Florida Blues Society is pleased to welcome Mud Morganfield to Gainesville for a special performance this evening at the outstanding Heartwood Soundstage listening room. Little Mike and the Tornadoes will open the night, followed by Mud Morganfield fronting his own touring band from Chicago as the featured headliner.

As the eldest son of legendary blues icon Muddy Waters, Mud Morganfield carries forward the traditional Chicago blues sound with authenticity and respect. His performances feature many of his father’s classic songs, along with a strong selection of his own original material. Morganfield earned a Blues Music Award in 2014 through his collaboration with harmonica great Kim Wilson of The Fabulous Thunderbirds on the album For Pops: A Tribute to Muddy Waters.

Opening the evening is Little Mike and the Tornadoes, fronted by the  respected vocalist, harmonica player, and bandleader known for delivering high-energy, roots-driven blues grounded in the Chicago tradition. Little Mike and his band have become a favorite on the blues circuit, praised for their tight, authentic sound and dynamic stage presence.

This concert reflects real connections within the blues community. Artists such as Kim Wilson and Paul Oscher have long been influences in Little Mike’s world, while Mud Morganfield’s band represents a direct continuation of Chicago blues history on today’s touring stage.

Together, these two performances will bring Gainesville an exceptional night of traditional Chicago blues in one of the area’s premier live music settings.

For more than 20 years, the North Central Florida Blues Society has continued its mission of bringing outstanding blues artists to Gainesville, presenting special performances just like this for the region’s dedicated live music community.

The North Central Florida Blues Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation, cultivation, nurturing, and promotion of blues music. Members enjoy ticket price discounts that can easily offset the cost of membership over the course of a year. Join at: https://ncfblues.org

YOKO MIWA TRIO - An Evening of New England Sophistication at Arts Garage on February 21, 2025


South Florida Welcomes


“Miwa is a virtuoso pianist with dazzling technique always in the
service of interaction and exchange of ideas.”
– Donald Elfman, NYC Jazz Record

Saturday, February 21, 2026 | 8pm 
94 NE 2nd Ave
Delray Beach, FL 33444

Facebook Event - Invite your friends!

“Yoko Miwa has been gifted with both extraordinary musical skills 
and has the pure spirit that is necessary for great art. We love her 
musical gifts and her beautiful spirit as well.”    – Ahmad Jamal

Award-winning pianist Yoko Miwa returns to Arts Garage with her acclaimed trio, bringing material from her new release alongside selections from her celebrated albums Songs of Joy, Keep Talkin’, and Pathways. She is joined by two accomplished musicians who help define the group’s unmistakable sound: bassist Will Slater, a New England Conservatory graduate whose performances span leading clubs and festivals across the United States and abroad, and drummer Scott Goulding, an international touring artist known for his work in top New York studios and long-standing collaborations with notable jazz figures. Together, this trio showcases the dynamic interplay, technical command, and expressive range that have made them audience favorites on respected stages around the world.

PERFORMER BIO:
Yoko Miwa
Internationally acclaimed pianist with her remarkable telepathy and infectious energy, Yoko Miwa is one of the most powerful and compelling performers on the scene today. Yoko was named a Rising Star Pianist in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 DownBeat Critics Poll. The Yoko Miwa Trio's 2021 release Songs of Joy received wide acclaim and reached #1 on national jazz radio charts and was voted a best jazz album of 2021 in the DownBeat 86th Annual Readers Poll. Jazziz called it “a radiant new collection.” CD Hotlist said “...yet another triumph from one of America's finest jazz pianists, composers, and bandleaders.” Their 2019 CD, Keep Talkin', showcases Miwa's fine playing and artful compositions and the trio's uncanny musical camaraderie. DownBeat gave the recording four stars, calling it “a beautifully constructed album” and noting “the drive and lyricism of a pianist and composer at home in bebop, gospel, pop, and classical.” JazzTimes also reviewed the album favorably, praising Miwa's “jaw-dropping degree of technique.” The album enjoyed seven weeks in the top 10 on Jazz Week's charts, much like its predecessor, Miwa's 2017 release Pathways, which also made Jazz Week's top 10 for several weeks. In a 2017 feature article on Miwa, DownBeat noted her “impressive technique and a tuneful lyricism that combines an Oscar Peterson-ish hard swing with Bill Evans-like introspection.”

For more than a decade Miwa's trio has played regularly at major jazz clubs in and around their home city of Boston (The Mad Monkfish (Cambridge, MA), Les Zygomates Wine Bar & Bistro (Boston, MA), Scullers Jazz Club (Boston, MA), Regattabar (Cambridge, MA), Ryles Jazz Club (Cambridge, MA), The Side Door Jazz Club (Old Lyme, CT), as well as venues around the world. A favorite of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Miwa was chosen to play on “Marian McPartland & Friends,” part of the Coca-Cola Generations in Jazz Festival. She was also chosen to perform at Lincoln Center's annual Jazz and Leadership Workshop for The National Urban League's Youth Summit. Miwa also appears regularly at New York's famed Blue Note Jazz Club as well as Birdland.
    Yoko has performed and/or recorded with a wide range of jazz greats including Sheila Jordan, Slide Hampton, Arturo Sandoval, George Garzone, Jazzmeia Horn, Jon Faddis, Jerry Bergonzi, Esperanza Spalding, Terri Lyne Carrington, Peter Washington, Kevin Mahogany, John Lockwood, Dominique Eade, Calvin Keys, and Johnathan Blake and many others. 
    In 2018 she performed on the main stage at the Atlanta Jazz Festival and the Litchfield Jazz Festival, where her trio drew the largest audience of any act. She is a Yamaha Pianos Artist, JVC Victor Entertainment and Ubuntu Music recording artist, 10X nominated and 2019 Winner in the Boston Music Awards as Jazz Artist of the Year, and Boston Phoenix Best Music Poll winner.

Will Slater
Will Slater, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, is an in-demand bassist, performing regularly in New York and New England. In addition to teaching students of all levels, Will has performed with Jerry Bergonzi, Jeff “Tain” Watts, George Garzone, Gary Thomas, Peter Bernstein, Anthony Wonsey, Bruce Barth, Kenny Werner, Terri Lyne Carrington, Leo Genovese, Dayna Stephens, Ari Hoenig, Marvin “Smitty” Smith, Benito Gonzalez, David Schnitter, Jeb Patton, Tommy Campbell, Joe Hunt, Bob Moses, Kimberly Thompson, Mark Guiliana, Yoron Israel, Rudy Royston, Jeff Hershfield, Tim Miller, Vardan Ovsepian, Joe Magnarelli, Phil Grenadier, Rob Schneiderman, Greg Hopkins, Jason Palmer, Greg Osby, Yoko Miwa, Gabriel Guerrero, and many other artists. He has performed at such venues as the Blue Note, Birdland, 55 Bar, Smalls, Minton's, Mezzrow, Keystone Korner, Cornelia Street Café, Scullers, the Regattabar, Wally's, Jordan Hall, the Ryles Jazz Club and the Lily Pad. He has recorded with Jerry Bergonzi, the Kim Thompson Quartet, the Phil Grenadier Trio, the Yoko Miwa Trio, and the Joe Delaney Trio. In 2009 he was a finalist in the Thelonious Monk competition. Will has also appeared internationally at such festivals as the Panama, Romania, and Aspen jazz festivals and has toured in France, Italy, Japan, Colombia, and Eastern Europe in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary.

Scott Goulding

He has toured throughout the United States and internationally.

Three-time Grammy nominated artist and American blues legend John Primer was the bandleader and guitarist for Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and Magic Slim & The Teardrops. He has played or recorded with blues greats including Junior Wells, Gary Clark Jr., Derek Trucks, Johnny Winter, The Rolling Stones and Buddy Guy. John Primer has received major recognition for his contributions to the history of Chicago blues.

This spring 2026 Florida run continues John Primer’s ongoing touring history in the state with The Real Deal Blues Band.

Growing up on Mississippi sharecropper land in 1945, Primer was inspired by field songs, spirituals, and the blues. After moving to Chicago in 1963, he began building a career through foundational venues and mentors that shaped the city’s blues tradition.

Primer performed on Maxwell Street and at Theresa’s Lounge, and worked with key artists including Sammy Lawhorn and Junior Wells.

In this compelling soundscape of Peggy Lee’s life, internationally acclaimed jazz singer Cheryl Fisher reimagines some of Miss Peggy’s most iconic songs, along with some lesser-known gems, with updated arrangements in a creative, engaging style true to the ground-breaking spirit of Peggy Lee. Peggy’s voice was a sultry, soulful sound that belonged to a true artistic trailblazer.
Hailed by the Montreal Jazz Festival as “one of the greatest female singers in the history of Canadian jazz,” Cheryl Fisher is also a composer and lyricist who has recorded six CDs under her own name. A Juno nominee and voted Best New Jazz Artist by the Alberta Recording Industry Association, she holds a Bachelor’s degree in Education (with distinction) from the University of Calgary and a Master’s degree in Jazz Vocal Performance from the University of Miami, where she also taught.
In addition to an international performing schedule, Cheryl is a respected jazz educator and has been on the dais of several North American jazz scholarship committees. Her live performances and recordings continue to receive glowing reviews for their originality, emotional depth, and outstanding technical excellence.
Her recordings feature the cream of the Canadian jazz scene, including such luminaries as Tommy Banks, P.J. Perry, Terry Clarke, Neil Swainson, and Reg Schwager, to name a few.
Her fifth CD, Moments Like This, pairs her with two genuine jazz legends: five-time Grammy Award nominee Ira Sullivan and Canadian Juno Award-winning pianist Oliver Jones. Fisher’s most recent CD, Quietly There, features Portland guitar great John Stowell and his trio, Scene, along with award-winning woodwind artist Eric Allison. Quietly There won a Global Music Award and was named one of the Top Ten jazz CDs in CKUA’s annual poll.

Eric Allison – woodwinds & baritone ukulele
