About the Fountain Blues Foundation

The Fountain Blues Foundation is on a mission to safeguard and celebrate the blues through various preservation activities, including live performances, broadcasts, lectures, and community education. At the heart of this effort is the renowned San Jose Fountain Blues & Brews Festival, held in downtown San Jose, every June, and is the longest-running blues festival in the Bay Area, showcasing a diverse range of roots and blues styles.

GetZeals Partnership: Amplifying the Blues Experience

Excitingly, the Fountain Blues Foundation has teamed up with GetZeals, a company committed to enhancing the blues experience. GetZeals empowers participating businesses to connect with customers more effectively, offering cashback incentives with every credit card purchase. What's truly special is that customers can choose to donate their cashback directly to the Fountain Blues Foundation, fueling music education programs for young talents in the South Bay.
