Cure Those Blues with Some Gumbo and the Sauce Boss at FSW!

FEBRUARY 13, 2025 – FORT MYERS, FLA – Got the Blues? Sauce Boss has the cure – a steaming pot of Gumbo – on Wednesday, Feb. 26, 5:30 p.m., at Florida SouthWestern State College’s (FSW) Lee Campus Garden of Inspiration, located behind the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall, 8099 College Parkway, Fort Myers. The concert is free and open to the public.

Bill Wharton, Sauce Boss, is the guy Jimmy Buffett sang about in his song, “I Will Play for Gumbo.” A powerhouse entertainer, Sauce Boss mixes his Bluesy slide guitar and soulful voice into a high-energy show. His very own hot sauce goes into a big pot of gumbo while he spices up the show with his own Blues.

Sauce Boss mixes media like cornbread. Hot sauce, blues, chicken, funk, onions and okra, heartfelt songs, peppers and soul, seafood… and slide guitar, all go into the gumbo. The aroma fills the place. The crowd stirs up the pot. The Sauce Boss stirs up the crowd, and at the end of the show, everyone eats. He has served hundreds of thousands for free at his live shows.

This free concert is presented by Arts@FSW. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs. For more information, email [email protected].
