Acoustic Blues Showcase This Sunday in Gainesville Florida with In-Person Seating and Live Streaming


Live Music Update Sponsored by North Central Florida Blues Society

North Central Florida Blues Society 
Presents The BLUES - 
ACOUSTICLY
Limited Inside Seating!
LIVE Streaming Tickets Available.

SUNDAY, SEPT 26, 2021 ~ Doors: 4:30PM / Show: 5PM
Gainesville Acoustic 
Blues Showcase
at
210 SW 2nd Avenue
Gainesville FL 32601
highdivegville.com (352)872-5949
$10 GA

This is a fundraiser, so please attend either in person or purchase a streaming ticket.  This would also be a great time to join the North Central Florida Blues Society or renew your membership. There will also be a silent auction of some very cool items! Including a complete platform promotion package for a band or venue donated by Jazz & Blues Florida. We appreciate your support!

Cassie Evans is a singer-songwriter hailing from Alachua, FL. Her stunning vocals, soulful lyrics and wonderful charisma have been charming audiences for years. Cassie is also an accomplished guitarist whose original compositions compliment her acoustic talent. Her music is inspired by Blues and folk influences. Backporch all the way but never basic, Cassie’s music is wonderfully sultry and perfect for a front porch or a sold-out auditorium. “Cassie is a fresh voice to the blues genre. With the ability to adapt to any audience and to make a song her own, she will keep the attention of any audience. Cassie is a breath of fresh air when it comes to an artist in today’s music industry.” — Justin Nelson, AJ Entertainment

Also performing will be Dr. Jules & the Juju Man. After failing to catch on in Nashville as the “Weird Al Yankovic of Country Music”, he moved to the Hill Country of Texas and discovered the Blues. Dr. Jules Gliesche has been on a crusade to preserve the Blues and spread the sound, with three CDs of original material and a fourth on the way, often with skeptical and humorous lyrics. Always expect Dr. Jules to always give you something unique and always give you BLUES. Lothar Weimann is a renowned guitar maker and guitar player that fronts JuJu Junction and was a 2017 International Blues Challenge participant.

Paco’s style is difficult to categorize and uniquely his own. The most recurrent comment you’ll hear from guitar players in the audience is that he plays chops that you don’t hear from anybody else. His vocals have an ease and sincerity which makes him relatable to practically every audience. Although he plays many genres, he always seems most at home playing the Blues. He is currently the lead guitarist with Little Mike and the Tornadoes as well as the Blues duo Crosseyed Cat.

The duo Middleground consists of Barbara and Mark Armbrecht and is the product of over 40 years of collaboration between these two professional musicians. The music has evolved over the years to now include an eclectic mix of folk, pop, blues, ragtime and classic favorites, all of which have been flavored by Barbara’s finger picking style, use of open tunings and occasional use of slide and supported by Mark’s solid and expressive bass technique. Prior to moving to Florida and forming Middleground, both Barbara and Mark appeared on Jamboree USA, a weekly live radio broadcast of country music featuring the top country artists of the day and second only to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville in status. They also appeared several times on Jamboree in The Hills, the largest country music festival in the country and played to an audience in excess of 100,000 people. Middleground was an International Blues Challenge participant in 2013. Barbara also competed at the International Blues Challenge in 2015 as a solo performer.

Daniela Soledade Brings the Jazz & Bossa Nova Straight From Rio

UPCOMING PERFORMANCE

Friday, November 18, 2021
Suncoast Jazz Festival

Downbeat Magazine calls her a “master of classic samba and bossa nova.” Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, vocalist/guitarist Daniela Soledade grew up in a family of musicians with a direct line to the origins of Bossa Nova. Daniela’s grandfather was Paulo Soledade, who composed songs with legendary Brazilian artists Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes, Toquinho and Baden Powell.

Guitarist Nate Najar is making it known world-wide that he is one of this decade’s finest modern jazz exponents, and not by saying it, but rather playing it. He uses a distinctive technique to convey his artistic prowess- not many artists play acoustic classical guitar with right hand classical technique, yet it is the perfect choice for Najar’s comprehensive approach. Not restricted to single notes or chords, Nate seamlessly weaves melody, harmony and rhythmic freedom. The result is music that is swinging, emotional, inventive and interesting.
