Experience the Pure Raw Talent of Dottie Kelly During 2025 Blues in The District Concert Series

Join The District and Blessing Health System as they present the 2025 Blues in the District series in Quincy’s Washington Park. The artist for July 25 – Dottie Kelly!

Dottie sang in a Baptist church, which is where she developed her talent for singing. She would later follow her Aunt Betty Padgett, a well-known singer out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL, to her various shows. Aunt Betty Padgett eventually asked Dottie to sing background with her and Joey Gilmore. 

From that point on, Dottie has traveled to various states, and opened for many artists from around the world. Those experiences mixed with pure raw talent, have made her a bona fide soul singer. 

Bring your food, your drinks, your friends and your lawn chairs for a great time in Washington Park. On-site food for this concert will be JKW BBQ & The Patio. Free kids activities: the southwest corner until 8 p.m., sponsored by Blessing Health System in partnership with Quincy Children’s Museum. No tents and no glass, please.
