Blues Cafe

with Megan Damon, John Brooks, and Julie Brown

Out of their shared love for all genres of American jazz music, Megan Damon, John Brooks, and Julie Brown have teamed up to put on a monthly swing dance that showcases everything from Slow Drag blues to Hot jazz.  In addition to running Blues Cafe, individually they DJ, perform, teach, and compete in Lindy Hop, blues dance, and Balboa.  John, the Good Times Engineer, runs numerous other events in the area including Sweet Molasses Blues, and is working hard to find the hottest bands and DJs to perform and showcase at this monthly venue. Julie Brown, the Muse, is known nationally for her fresh, yet classic blues dance and brings her creative inspiration to the Blues Cafe.  Megan Damon, the Face, known in the Boston scene for her performances at such events as Sweet Molasses Blues Weekend and the Boston Tea Party, specializes in Lindy Hop and fine-tunes Blues Cafe behind the scenes.
