Welcome to the Austin Blues Society Web Site
We hope you will join us in promoting the Blues in Central Texas. If you are reading this, we probably already share a love of Blues music. Hopefully we can also share membership in our Blues Society! Our goal, with the help of blues musicians and fans like you, is to promote and educate about blues music, one of America’s oldest and most important musical genres. We are one of many similar Blues societies around the world that share a common mission of keeping the Blues alive!
Blues music has always been a community-based music, and we want to help our Central Texas blues community stay in touch and grow with the music.
Please feel free to get in touch with us and apply for membership
