One of Atlanta's most well respected blues performers and teachers is Chicago Joe Jones. Joe has taught guitar in the Atlanta area for many years and founded the Chicago Joe Jones Rock 'N Blues Summer Camp.

Along with Carlos, Joe is also a longtime presenter in the Blues In The Schools program sponsored by the Atanta Blues Society. Together Joe and Carlos have visited dozens of schools in the Atlanta metro area and taught the kids about the music and history of the blues - all free of charge to the schools.

Chicago Joe performs every Thursday at Maddy's BBQ in Decatur. On the first Thursday of each month, Joe invites all of his students and their families to come out and have a teen blues jam.  It is quite a sight.

The Thursday June 4 show has been dubbed the "Kids For Carlos" night and collections will be made to assist Carlos in his medical expenses.
