Hello, and THANK YOU for being a JBF email subscriber,
We’re reaching out today with a very personal message, and we hope you’ll take a moment to read and consider helping in a few important ways.
🛍️ THE JBF MERCH STORE IS OPEN – FOR JUST TWO DAYS!
We’re winding down our merchandise trial run, and we need your help to move the few remaining items. The online store is open today and tomorrow only, and every purchase helps support the work we’ve been doing for nearly two decades, and we really don't want to have to file a sales tax return again in April. Please take a look and consider picking up something before it closes so you too can be sporting the cool stuff for the festival season:

📣 THE NEW JBF MODEL IS WORKING – AND GROWING
Since shifting our focus away from the magazine, we’ve been able to deliver even more targeted support to artists, venues, and events across Florida.
If you know someone who needs visibility in the jazz or blues scene—please send them our way or forward this link to our new rate sheet:
👉 Promote with JBF – Rates & Info
📬 YOU MAKE THIS ALL POSSIBLE – AND WE NEED MORE LIKE YOU
We appreciate you being here. This subscriber list is the most dependable way to keep Florida’s jazz and blues fans connected. With social media becoming increasingly unreliable and disconnected from music, this list is essential to keeping the music scene informed and engaged.
Even though we have one of the best open rates in the business, only about half of our subscribers are opening our emails. That means we’re paying for thousands of unread messages. These simple clicks—opening and reading—are like a no-cost payment that keeps Jazz & Blues Florida moving forward.
This is not a GoFundMe. Everything we’re asking support for offers something in return—whether it’s a shirt, a service, or access to information that benefits the entire Florida live music scene. Every item, every post, every campaign gives something real and useful back to the people who make it possible.
Over the years, we’ve delivered more than 7,500 announcements that have been read over 2.75 MILLION times to the community at no charge to readers. If you believe in what we do, we ask that you help in three easy ways:
-
Open our emails and check out what’s going on
-
Forward them to fellow music lovers
-
Encourage friends to subscribe here:

We are grateful for your time, your attention, and your support.
Thanks for helping us keep the music alive and well in Florida.
Charlie
