About Cincy Blues Society

Cincy Blues Society is a member-supported, 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to promote and advance the culture and tradition of Blues music as an original American art form.  Cincy Blues Society has been in existence since 1990, and strives to fulfill its mission by encouraging and facilitating both performance and educational events and projects.

About the Blues in the Schools Program

The Cincy Blues Society created a “Blues in the Schools” (BITS) program soon after the Society was founded in 1990, as keeping the blues alive for another generation is an integral part of the group’s mission.  The BITS educational program has two areas of focus: presentations by professional musicians and performances by young people who are learning to play the blues.  The program brings accomplished area blues musicians into local schools to educate students about the history and significance of the blues, and keeps another generation listening to, learning about, and performing this uniquely American music.
