Just because we are one of the Youngest Blues Societies in the World, that doesn't mean we're the Weakest nor does it mean we're the Poorest...what it means is that we have the Most to Look Forward To!
Our Membership is filled with some of the most talented, caring and thoughtful people in the world - if you need a hand they will lend it, if they have a contact they'll share it and together we will make it happen! That's what makes us strong, that's what makes us rich and that's what makes us the Best Blues Society in the world!
We are moving forward with our goals at a brisk pace. Now is the time to step up and become a Society Member or Volunteer to help at one of our many Endeavors. Together, we can only move forward to Success. In the last year, the number of our Society's members have almost doubled...we're gaining speed!
Our mission is to preserve and promote the Blues music art form. We try to accomplish this with many ongoing Society Events. Our goal is "Keeping The Blues Alive".
THE 2009 INTERNATIONAL BLUES CHALLENGE!!!
HERE ARE OUR 2009 "BATTLE OF THE BLUES BANDS" WINNERS
WHO REPRESENTED OUR SOCIETY AT THE 2009 IBC IN MEMPHIS!!!
WINNING BAND:
Alan Wright has a ton of heart, and that is where his music comes from.
It really cooks with great soulful Rockers as well as traditional-style Blues.
Alan's strong, deep, throaty voice is natural for singing the Roots based music he loves and writes. His Guitar and Harmonica playing is just as pure and powerful, tapping down into the very roots of the music he loves.
WINNING SOLO ARTIST:
Bryan Chan was raised with 60's and 70's Rock ..... later introduced to Country Music ... he now embraces the Blues.
Thru his very unusual method of playing Slide Guitar, Bryan's thoughts and feelings of daily life struggles are soulfully expressed thru his music.
2ND PLACE BAND: THE PHIL GATES BLUES BAND
2ND PLACE SOLO ARTIST: THELONIUS JAMES
WINNER OF THE 2008 SANTA CLARITA VALLEY BLUES SOCIETY'S
