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

British-born, US-based guitar powerhouse Matt Schofield is widely regarded as one of the most exciting blues musicians of his generation

and when he hits the stage, it shows.

With over 30 years of performing and two decades as a solo artist, Schofield has earned global acclaim, multiple British Blues Guitarist of the Year awards, Album of the Year honors, and induction into the British Blues Awards Hall of Fame. But awards only tell part of the story. Live, he’s something else entirely. Known for his fluid phrasing, unmistakable tone, and deeply expressive playing, Schofield turns every performance into something spontaneous and unforgettable. From major festival stages like Montreal and North Sea Jazz to legendary rooms like New York’s Iridium and London’s 100 Club, he connects with audiences instantly and completely.

Now reunited with his original trio for a special 20th anniversary celebration, this show isn’t just a concert—it’s a rare chance to experience a modern blues master at full power, in his element, doing what he does best!
