Our mission is the preservation of blues music as a traditional and contemporary art form through interactive programs that educate and entertain. With educational programs, live performance, exhibits, and the development of archival and curriculum materials, we increase awareness of the role blues music has played in the development of popular American music, with a special focus on Alabama?s contribution to that history. We pass on Alabama?s blues culture to children while teaching self-esteem, discipline, cross cultural understanding, interaction, and teamwork.

Educational programs about blues music

Our blues camps serve children between the ages of 8-17. While we are open to the entire community, we make a special effort to recruit at-risk children. Our camps are often very diverse. Any school may bring the Alabama Blues Project in for a program. We especially travel to schools in rural areas where funding for arts and music has been cut. Our Alabama blues preservation programs benefit the state for tourism and blues lovers from everywhere!
