A Musical Presentation,“Living the Dream” – Dr. Cheryl Jones and Company 
Since 1988, Cheryl Jones and a merry band of gentlemen have been making funky music together on the Emerald Coast, music that reflects her Detroit roots. Music lifts us. It soothes us, distracts us and keeps us company. Good times or bad, at peace or at play, there’s a soundtrack to our lives. And Cheryl Jones has made it her life’s mission to find or write the perfect song to suit every moment. “Music is a conduit for me,” Jones says. “It flows through me and takes a part of me with it. And I take a part of it with me.” Jones’ music has provided a soundtrack for people along the Emerald Coast since 1988, when, at the urging of a cousin who had already relocated here, Cheryl and her husband, Denny, left their hometown of Detroit and put their roots down in the Florida sand. They formed their band, Jones and Company, the following year. “This community allows us to live the dream,” she says. “The sea breeze is really inspiring. People here are calm, accepting and ready to just go with the flow.” Jones and Company is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year with the release of a new CD titled, “Raise the Roof.”
