Attending the Blues Foundation's Blues Music Awards is a once a year opportunity to see the best performers the genre has to offer gather to celebrate the music we all love.  Performances at the awards ceremony are uniformly outstanding.  Even of a tribute to the music, this year, was an hours long jam featuring a who's who of the hottest vocalists and musicians you could ever want to hear.  It doesn't get any better than this.

We are your typical "snowbirds" and we attend every event we can in the fall, but more so from January to mid-May.

I commend the hard work you do to keep the Villages Blues Society the best club in the whole of TV.  Keep up the good (hard) work.  Bravo to you!

BMA Event - this event is held annually in Memphis, Tennessee. The blues musicians are nominated in different categories of acheivements in the genre of blues music. It's an exciting event where professional musicians perform and jam with other musicians plus they get the opportunity to meet the fans of blues music who also attend this event. I attended last year with Mark & Marcia Adams of the Villages Blues Society and I had a great time meeting some blues musicians that I had never met before and other musicians that I have known a long time. I jammed with musicians like Johnny Rawls, Kingfish and others. Please support the Villages Blues Society to "keep the blues alive!".  Thank you.

OK, I got to tell you this.  I left the hotel about two hours south of Nashville on Monday morning.  I come out of the elevator, and there’s a guy in the orange village is blue society T-shirt…

I go to Albert Castiglia yesterday at Space in Evanston and I run into a guy with a black villages tees, blue society T-shirt. Pretty cool. The support for blues with TVBS is all around the U. S.

My experience with The Villages Blues Society has been fantastic.  So many great artists in such intimate settings.  There is nowhere else you can connect with musicians at this level.  In addition to the bi-weekly shows, the club offers driveway parties and blues music field trips which creates a sense of camaraderie.  This group definitely deserves the distinction of being the largest blues society in the world!

I was at last Thursday's event (Damon Fowler and Friends), and I've never seen so many people with the blues so happy!

Gabe Stillman's performance last night was one of those really special shows where the audience and entertainer become one!!!  Thanks for all you do.

My husband John and I are new to the Villages, and have found the Blues Society one of the most valuable and rewarding organizations we’ve encountered. Every event has exceeded expectations! Many thanks to you and Mark for your time and dedication!!

Tom and I have been members of The Villages Blues Society since April 2018, soon after we moved here. We love music, particularly blues music. At first, we only went to "gatherings" of musicians we were familiar with. However, in recent years and particularly since 2024 we went to every concert we could because we trust Marcia and Mark to bring the very best to The Villages. If they think they're good enough for The Villages, we know we are going to love them, too. Thank you, Marcia and Mark for bringing some of the best blues concerts we have ever gone to right here in The Villages. It's like having them play in our own basement and we love it!!

Carrie (and Tom) Solomon
