Kentuckiana Blues Society history & Awards

Since 1988, The Kentuckiana Blues Society has been dedicated to the preservation, promotion and perpetuation of the blues tradition in all of its forms. To further this mission, KBS honors a member of our blues community every year with the Sylvester Weaver Award. We also present the KBS Blues Challenge, in which bands compete for a chance to represent us at the annual International Blues Challenge in Memphis. In addition, KBS is proud to sponsor a Blues in the Schools program to perpetuate the blues by engaging and educating our youth.

KBS has proudly been involved with Blues in the Schools for many years. It is important to continue the blues tradition, and what a better way than going directly to area children with lessons in blues music history and performance.
