The Sacramento Blues Society
"Dedicated to Preserving and Promoting Blues Music as an art form."
Founded in 1979, our mission is to promote and preserve blues music as the original American art form.
We are the third oldest blues society in the United States and are celebrating our 45th year throughout 2024!
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
We love to connect with all aspects of the community through BLUES – involving artists, labels, radio, students, schools, venues, promoters and FANS. Membership fees, sponsorships and grants fund the bulk of our events and educational programs. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit and a proud affiliate member of The Blues Foundation.
