A message from the NBS:

We are a new Blues Society, passionate about our mission to promote, preserve, support and advance the tradition and future of blues music. We realize this is an ambitious task, however we believe the experience of enjoying blues live and via recordings is tremendously rewarding and helps keep us in touch with the essence of the human heart and spirit.

We wish to accomplish much for the blues in Nashville, the capitol of country music. One of our goals is to increase our membership and the number of local blues fans, and to discover and disseminate information about the local blues community to help bring Nashville-area performers and their potential fans together. We also want to increase exposure to this marvelous music by sponsoring and promoting blues events featuring local and national acts, and publishing this newsletter. We also plan to bring educational programs to schools and community organizations as we progress.

Here you will find gig listings, blues jams, events, and much more. As our site evolves, we will be adding interesting new features and content. So check here often to stay aware of local blues gigs and events, and be sure to get out and support live blues in Nashville!
