Music Made in America ~ Sacramento Blues Society

Founded in 1979, our mission is to promote and preserve blues music as the original American art form.

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.
