Blues Music | Sacramento Blues Society

The Sacramento Blues Society understands that the arts have always been outlets to express the plight of the oppressed, and to sound the call for change. We believe that the African-American experience is the very foundation of the Blues, a uniquely American art form, and one which we celebrate and love. Music, especially the Blues, can break down racial barriers and open dialogue about cultural diversity.

We are witnessing, and are part of, a movement for social justice now. We pledge, as individuals and as a group, to work for peaceful, positive change within the community and to influence those with whom we interact to do the same. We welcome everyone to enjoy the Blues with us...in the spirit of unity, companionship and goodwill. We are all in this together

If the kid in you remembers the first spark that lit up your learning, remembers the teacher that took extra time to encourage you, in fact— if you can recall the WAY you found to express yourself as an individual—then you know how much that shaped the person you became. On May 7, four student bands from four schools in the Sacramento area will bring their A game in a BIG DOG Boardwalk evening of live blues and community! Through our Blues in the Schools (BITS) Programs, we help build emotionally intelligent, blues loving, student leaders of tomorrow.

The signup sheet at 3:30pm, the house band (w/ special guest host Paris Clayton (guitar, vocals), with house band regulars Dean Chance(bass) and Ratatat Pat(drums) play a short set at 4:00pm, and then Paris put folks together in groups that'll have the most fun playing together, and will be the most fun for people to dance to. On they roll until 7:00pm. If you're a musician, bring whatever gear you need to make some noise - we provide drums and a bass amp - and we'll do the rest. Warren J. Bishop is the swell resident soundman, and he makes everybody sound good. If you're a dancer, bring your dancing shoes.
