Welcome to our new website. We are excited to change our look and acquire some better tools and interactive pages.

Fall is shaping up to be our busiest season this year. Over the last few months I have become more and more excited about the work the STLBS is doing. We are really coming alive. The board is involved in a wide range of planning and executing, new volunteers are stepping up, and the local community seems to only get stronger. On that note, I’d like to highlight some some of our current projects to keep on your radar.
The Atomic Blues Festival is our first large, all-day show, benefiting the new Education Fund. Many musicians are volunteering their time, volunteers are planning, the Atomic Cowboy venue is perfect for a two-stage event and the time of year should make for good weather. Also, the new Executive Director of the National Blues Museum will be there to answer questions and get to know the community. This will be a great day and I hope you can join us.
Speaking of the Education Fund, we are excited to partner with the School of Rock in Ballwin on four blues workshops coming up in September and October. Eric McSpadden, Kirk Grice, Eugene Johnson and Rich McDonough will all be presenting on their instruments to a very engaged group of young folks. We look forward to organizing and funding more educational programs very soon.
The International Blues Challenge is here again. It looks like another great group of musicians are excited to represent St. Louis in Memphis early next year. I really hope you can join us on October 18 for the regional challenge at Kirkwood Station Brewery. The event has only gotten better over the last few years and we hope to continue to support acts who want to perform on a National level.
Finally, we are hard at work on the new STLBS Compilation CD. Many of you have conveyed how much you enjoyed last year’s cd and we’re hoping not to disappoint you. Assuming there are no disasters, the new cd will feature 15 local blues artists (none of which were on the last album) performing original material. Look for it to come out
late 2015 or early 2016. Remember, if you’re a member we will be sending you one in the mail. We still have plenty of the last album, so if you haven’t gotten yours go to the website or see us at one of our booths to pick one up!
Thanks to everyone who helps make St. Louis a better musical city!
