Help NJBS Expand Blues Education Programs

Our mission is to unify and engage the Northern New Jersey community in the participation and promotion of blues performances and educational initiatives. The NJBS goals and priorities include:

• Promoting performances by local, regional, and national blues artists with a devoted interest in blues and American roots music.

• Providing artistic programming that offers opportunities for community engagement and interactive educational experiences for both artists and audiences.

• Preserving and increasing awareness of the blues by championing its founding artists, illuminating the history of this genre, and showcasing its cultural impact worldwide.

The North Jersey Blues Society received a grant from the Passaic County Cultural & Heritage Council to enable the Blues Alive program in two NJ school systems. Check out this video of the Blues Alive program:

The funds raised will be used to match the grant funds. Any funds in excess will be used to expand our educational initiatives.
