Honoring the past & welcoming the future. Founded October 5, 1989 in order to help preserve and nurture the music that is the roots of it all. Our intent is to maintain and encourage ties with all forms of the blues: acoustic and electric, traditional, soul, modern, and so on. Blues music is an ever-evolving art form and we pay homage to the legends that defined it, and the contemporaries that have yet to attain their full appreciation. The Columbus Blues Alliance is a 501c3-designated, nonprofit blues society and a proud affiliate of the Blues Foundation in Memphis, Tennessee. We are an ALL-volunteer corporation depending on the generosity and charity of our members to donate their time and energy to keep us going help attain our goals.
