Blues Don Music Company -

“The Blues is the ROOTS; the rest is the FRUITS” (Willie Dixon)

Blues Don Music is the brainchild of Gino & Elli Baronelli to promote Blues-oriented Music Performance, and it’s many off shoots.
Today, the company sponsors a number of acts to that end:
* ‘Blues a Nostra’ ™; a four-to-seven-piece member band with Gino Baronelli at the front, providing Traditional Blues music, with tributes to Willie Dixon, BB King and Sonny Terry / Brownie McGhee (Lightnin’ Hopkins).
* ‘Groove Katz’ ™; a multi-piece member band, with occasional special guests, providing a mixed bag of music, with concentration on Soul, Funk, Old School R & B, and Smooth Jazz, and selected Blues and Country tunes.
* 'Nostra Jazz’ ™; the newest BDMC project, a two plus member group steeped in Instrumental Jazz renditions. Whether traditional, or not, it's always an adventurous, improvisational experience.
* ‘Seraphic Cousins’ ™; slated as a Righteous Brothers, et al, tribute, the duo(s) also perform(s) a mixed bag of Blues. R&B, Soul, Folk Rock & Country for small venues.
* ‘Rogues Squad’ ™; Tribute tunes from the original three, Frank, Sammy & Dino.
* 'Cash Legends' ™; dedicated to Johnny and his "Outlaw" friends.
Depending on what the future brings, the company may also investigate other avenues of music performance projects, which have value.
