DELMARK DAY: Masterclass Series

The Fox Valley Music Foundation is proud to present DELMARK DAY, the first installment of the Delmark Records and FVMF Masterclass Series.

Join us for the beginning of a brand new community related partnership with the historic Delmark Records! Delmark Day is the first in a quarterly series filled with music, mentorship, good times and most of all, the blues!

This immersive day-long celebration, funded by a Music In Action grant from Live Music Society, brings together the power of live blues, music education, and Chicago music history.

The Masterclass will be led by blues vocalist and Delmark Records artist Sheryl Youngblood, whose fiery performances and deep roots in the Chicago blues tradition have made her a standout educator and performer. Musicians and non-musicians of all levels are invited to learn from Youngblood’s expertise in performance, vocal technique, and stage presence.

Throughout the day, music lovers can soak in the sounds of DJ Oliver “Fade” Torres, who will spin rare and classic Delmark Records vinyl between activities. His curated sets will showcase the legendary label’s deep blues and jazz catalog, offering a musical journey through Chicago’s vibrant sonic history.

The evening concert will feature special performances from:

~ Patch of Blues ~ A rising young band with a fresh approach to the blues, offering tight grooves and passionate performances.

~ Demetria Taylor ~ Acclaimed Delmark Records vocalist and daughter of blues icon Eddie Taylor, Demetria delivers powerhouse vocals and a fierce stage presence that’s earned her a place among today’s greats.
