The late Don Cohen loved the Blues and promoted the Blues for much of his life. He was an ‘old school’ promoter and was loved by the many who knew him and worked with him over the past quarter of a century. Most people knew Don as the owner of The Musicians Exchange and as the founder of Ft. Lauderdale’s Riverwalk Blues Festival. He always took pride in the artists he worked with and loved to promote shows. He was always hustling to find gigs for both local and national artists. He started the Riverwalk Blues Festival in the mid 1980s and his name became synonymous with South Florida Blues. Don was always an honest, loyal, hard working guy that had a passion for the Blues and the musicians who played the Blues. Sadly, Don passed away in 2007 on his 55th birthday.
