About Death Blues

Drummer and percussionist Jon Mueller's Death Blues project uses sound, performance, and concept to explore ideas around presence and experience. Death Blues events are physical manifestations of some of the ideas within the concept. Involving a variety of senses to create a personal experience, the aim for the events is to construct personally interesting moments to become present within; reflecting on ideas and concerns while experiencing a sense of discovery. Concerts, dance performances, readings, visual exhibits, and taste experiences are some examples of what's occurred within Death Blues events. These have taken place in various cities throughout the US, including Hopscotch Fest (Raleigh, NC), Alverno Presents (Milwaukee, WI), and other venues throughout New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee.
