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.

Watch this space for information on a new music project:
'FAMILY'.
"Gino Baronelli & Family"™, a multi-genre performance experience!!

Depending on what the future brings, the company may also investigate other avenues of music performance projects, which have value.

The Company has recently paired with One Hope Wine Company with our own Elizabeth Barner, as a Cause Entrepreneur. We are happy to support her passion for sharing wine and fundraising for nonprofits into a business with ONEHOPE. See CONTACT page for more information.
