It is well known that culture influences music
Whether you realize it or not, the blues is the foundation of nearly all the most popular styles of music listened to today. The blues isn’t just about the blues . . . Jazz, Rock, Country, Soul, R&B, Funk, and even SKA all descended from, developed out of, or were influenced by the blues. The blues has served as the backbone of all these styles and probably for many styles yet to come. The musical genre known as the blues is difficult to define, but you know it when you hear it: a simple chord progression, a deep bass line, and lyrics that evoke wisdom, sadness, and resignation.
Keeping the blues alive
My passion is the blues, connecting artists with blues lovers or introducing new lovers to the blues communities and traditions that produced blues a century ago and are still producing a wealth of new music. From small neighborhood clubs to stadium stages—and the virtual stages of the Internet—the cultural heirs of Robert Johnson, BB King, and Muddy Waters are reaching larger, more diverse audiences than ever before. These artists legacy are the foundation of a new breed of blues players who are creating a lot of exciting music, and if we want to make a case for the continuing power and importance of blues, that’s a good place to start. Come look at these great artists and share in their passion.
