Rubber City Jazz and Blues Festival Fundraiser with Theron Brown

Join us for a very special fundraising event at BLU Jazz+ as the Theron Brown Trio hosts fan-favorite musicians Dan Wilson, Nathan-Paul Davis, Tommy Lehman and Chris Anderson in an all out blues battle! All ticket sale proceeds go to support Open Tone Music’s Akron youth programming and The Rubber City Jazz & Blues Festival, so come enjoy an amazing evening of music – all for a good cause!

The Rubber City Jazz & Blues Festival (RCJBF) is dedicated to preserving Akron’s rich and vibrant history in jazz and blues and showcasing today’s stars. Our impact reaches far beyond this 3-day festival. We provide music and arts programming to youth in underserved communities throughout Summit, Lorain, Erie, and Cuyahoga Counties. This year’s festival will feature seven venues in Downtown Akron: BLU Jazz+, Musica, Maiden Lane, High St. Hop House, Akron Civic Theatre, Akron Art Museum, and the Akron-Summit County Public Library.

Open Tone Music, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, is committed to bringing music to people. Their mission is to support, develop and implement programs which focus on making music performance and music education accessible. They focus primarily on youth but serve individuals of all ages and strive to fill the ever growing gap of individuals both young and old who have been denied the benefits of music.
