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.
Clifford Antone played a huge roll in providing a vibrant Blues talent pool and working gigs for many Blues artists for the past 3 decades. Consequently their wasn't a real big need for a "society" here in Austin. In the wake of loosing Clifford, a group of loving friends who admired his great contribution to the Blues community felt compelled to roll up their sleeves and set the wheels in motion to organize the Austin Blues Society. They held a successful kickoff event completed all the legal ground work for starting a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and nursed the first official Austin Blues Society through it's Freshman year.
On the coat tales of their success and hard work, the current incarnation of the board and volunteers have worked very hard to produce an amazing number of successful events and programs in our sophomore year. We've been able to stoke the Central Texas Blues Music scene with several monthly ABS sponsored events and provide monetary contributions through our fundraising events to several deserving not-profit community organizations including the Capitol Area Food Bank, and Music For Literacy Foundation.
Please feel free to get in touch with us with any questions or suggestions you may have.
We invite individuals and businesses to apply for membership.
