*THE PATIO IS INDOORS TONIGHT!* FREE Blues Sunday! Blues on the Patio Series in Gainesville at A. Quinn Jones Museum Sunday, June 30, 2024


"Blues is a tonic for whatever ails you. 
I could play the blues and then not 
be blue anymore." - B.B. King

Sunday, June 30, 2024 | 7-9pm | FREE
at the
A. Quinn Jones Museum & 
Cultural Center
1013 NW 7th Ave
Gainesville FL 32601
WEBSITE  (352)334-2010
FACEBOOK EVENT - Invite your friends!

The Blues are the roots of African American music today. On The Patio, a bi-monthly series, features local and regional Blues artists. This series  provides a network of association for area Blues lovers and build upon the Blues Education program by encouraging youth participation. Admission is FREE! 

This June enjoy the Dr Jules' Cool Blues Trio as they present both time-honored Blues and Swing tunes, as well as original material that combines Humor and the Blues to entertain and perhaps even inspire thought. 

Dr. Jules’ Cool Blues is the brainchild of Dr. Jules Gliesche, whose long quest to preserve and honor the Blues has led to a recent evolution that preserves his own need to write original decompositions and cover Blues standards in public, while adding the talents of Little David Thornton (harp) and Marie Williams (piano, guitar and primarily vocals) to round out the sound and diversify the setlist.

As a trio they strive to both promote Dr Jules’ original decompositions, and play the Blues honestly and true to its original roots and rhythms. By incorporating elements of Jazz & Big Band Swing, their sound remains soulful, and firmly rooted in the rhythms and traditions of the Blues. Plus, if you listen to the lyrics, you’ll discover that they’re often downright amusing. Their motto remains “We’ll play the Blues for you.” 

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.

Friends of South Florida Music (FSFM),  a non-profit foundation, understands the importance of these subjects and why young children are particularly in need of art and music.
