This week, our community lost someone irreplaceable. Jeff Buoy of the Blue Grouch wasn’t just the owner of the bar — he was its soul. He believed in people, in music, and in good nights spent with good friends. His kindness shaped countless memories and gave this place its heartbeat.

We also want to recognize the incredible staff who are mourning this loss. They were his extended family — Please be gentle with them during this time. Their strength, love, and dedication are a huge part of what made this place feel like home.

Our gig this tonight will be a tribute to Jeff, and to support Amber and the Staff.
We’ll play with gratitude, with love, and with the same joy he always brought into the room.
If you can, come be part of it. Let’s honor him together and support the staff who are carrying his legacy forward.
The Collective Band

In lieu of flowers, help us carry on Jeff's legacy by giving to Help provide Amber some peace of mind..

“Last monday evening my world changed forever. My husband Jeff — who had a heart of gold and was the soul of the Blue Grouch — is gone. I don’t have the right words yet, and maybe I won’t for a long time, but I need everyone to know how deeply he was loved… and how deeply he will be missed.

The Blue Grouch wasn’t just a bar to him. It was his dream, his community, his second family. So many of you were part of his everyday life, and I’m grateful for every laugh, every story, every night you spent supporting what we have built.

Right now, I’m doing my best to breathe through the shock and the deep ache. I know how much you all care, and I feel that love — truly. But I also need a little space while I try to steady myself and figure out what comes next. Please be patient with me. Please give me time.

Hold each other close tonight. Tell the people you love that you love them. And when you raise a glass, raise one for him.

Thank you for understanding.
Thank you for loving him.
Thank you for giving me room to grieve.”
