The Fox Valley Music Foundation is proud to present the third installment of the DELMARK DAY series this Saturday, April 25! It's a day filled with music, mentorship, good times and most of all, the blues!

The evening begins with a one hour Masterclass led by blues legends The Delmark All-Stars (Mike Wheeler, Big Ray, Larry Williams, Roosevelt Purifoy) as they mentor up and coming vocalist, Jaden Allen. You'll get a "window in" to the rehearsal process, complete real time mentorship, and live Q & A, all steeped in Chicago Blues. DJ Julia Miller will spin rare and classic Delmark Records vinyl during the break before the evening concert, which features a performance from the legendary Jimmy Burns & Soul Message Band!

This celebration, funded by a Music In Action Grant from Live Music Society, brings together the power of live music, education, and Chicago music history under one roof at The Venue.

This is an all ages show - ticket link in comments. See you there!
