Over her distinguished career, she has released thirteen albums and garnered multiple awards, including the Blues Music Award for Traditional Blues Female Artist (Koko Taylor Award) in 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Her latest album, One Guitar Woman, released on March 29, 2024, is a heartfelt tribute to pioneering female guitarists such as Memphis Minnie, Lydia Mendoza, Maybelle Carter, Ida Presti, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. This acoustic solo project showcases Foley's versatility, exploring genres from Piedmont fingerpicking to flamenco, and has earned a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album.

Foley's current tour includes three performances in Florida. On Saturday, May 10, 2025, she will headline the WMNF Tropical Heatwave at the Cuban Club in Tampa.

These Florida performances are part of Foley's broader tour supporting One Guitar Woman, allowing audiences to experience live renditions of her latest work alongside classic favorites. Her dedication to honoring the legacy of female guitar pioneers, combined with her own innovative style, continues to solidify her reputation as a leading figure in the blues community.

3-2-1 Jazz Orchestra and Space Coast Big Band Present FREE Concert in Melbourne Florida on May 14, 2025


The Countdown is ON to 
the Big Band Showdown!

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 | Doors 6p. Show 7p.
Melbourne Auditorium
625 E. Hibiscus Blvd,
Melbourne, FL 32901

The 3-2-1 Jazz Orchestra and Space Coast Big Band will face off once again this year for a “Battle of the Bands” concert at 7 p.m. on May 14, 2025, at the Melbourne Auditorium, 625 E. Hibiscus Blvd. The concert is FREE, and doors open at 6 p.m.

"It’ll be twice the bands for twice the fun,” said 3-2-1 Conductor Kurt Schulenburg. “Our audience members really enjoyed this format last year, so we decided to reprise it with a whole new selection of music, including arrangements and original works by members of both groups.”

“The Space Coast Big Band will feature professional players from all over Central Florida, including singer Aolani, known for her work at Heidi's Jazz Club,” said Joel Greenblatt, director of the group.

The two groups will showcase Big Band arrangements in a variety of styles, covering tunes from the last 100 years of jazz. As a bonus, Guitarist Phil Coe (3-2-1), Conductor Kurt Schulenburg (3-2-1) and Trumpeter Anthony (“Spider-man”) Agatiello (3-2-1 and Space Coast Big Band) will all present completely new works.

“Since Agatiello plays in both groups, it's appropriate that his swinging version of the Itsy-bitsy Spider will be played by both groups as they join forces for several tunes in the finale,” added Schulenburg.

The Concert Café format for the event enables the audience to select from traditional theater-style or table seating. There is also room to dance for those so inclined. Food and beverages may be purchased on site from City Bistro.

Call 3-2-1-724-0555 or visit www.MelbourneMunicipalBand.org for more information.

The 3-2-1 Jazz Orchestra is the Big Band ensemble of the Melbourne Municipal Band, playing great jazz from all eras. It is available to hire for weddings, parties or corporate meetings. 

The Space Coast Big Band is a 19-piece jazz orchestra led by Joel Greenblatt and playing a wide array of musical stylings including Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Gordon Goodwin, and the modern and energetic Cherry Popping Daddies.

About the Melbourne Municipal Band:

Now in its 60th season, the Melbourne Municipal Band (MMB) provides free, quality concerts to the community and helps nurture the next generation of musicians through youth education and performance initiatives. Founded in 1965, the MMB is an integral part of the Space Coast cultural community, serving more than 21,000 attendees each year through concerts, dances and other ensemble performances.
