In 1992, the Central Iowa Blues Society (CIBS) was founded by Des Moines native, Mr. Tom Gary, also affectionately know as “The Blues Professor.” Tom also founded the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame in 1999, which became a program of CIBS. Tom, who passed in May of 2019, left a wonderful legacy to Blues music by tracing its rich, historical roots through those who brought this genre to central Iowa.
His academic credentials consisted of teaching degrees related to art and history; both of which he actively taught at Buena Vista University, Grandview University, and Des Moines Catholic Schools.
Tom wrote his Master Thesis at Iowa State University entitled The Rise and Fall of Center Street 1945-1972, which contains the profound history and cultural contributions of local Afro American residents who were the unquestionable progenitors, introducing both Blues music and its “kissing cousin” Jazz to central Iowa. Center Street was ground zero for Delta Music, and in some respects, Des Moines’ own “Beale Street.”
Tom’s credentials, as a musician, consisted of locally performing as a trained keyboardist who founded the decades old Thursday Night Blues Jam located at 1501 Grand Ave. This venue continued through three different owners and three different names: The Grand Avenue Lounge, The Grand, and lastly, Blues on Grand. He also hosted the open jam at the Hull Avenue Tavern, Des Moines’ oldest bar.
He was an active musician in The Tom Gary Blues Band, Bad Boys of the Blues, and The Backstage Boogie Band. Tom also performed with countless local musicians, many who are inductees into the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame.
