The Kentucky Blues Society sends young talent to the International Blues Challenge in Memphis every year. For IBC 2016, KENTUCKY BLUES CRUSADE represented Kentucky in the YOUTH SHOWCASE on Beale Street.
Many of our events are family shows, open to all ages, admission is free, you do not have to be a member to attend. We welcome young people to participate and offer opportunities for young talent to learn about the blues.
The first blues guitar ever recorded was by a Kentucky man! Sylvester Weaver, October 23, 1923.
