Blues For Vets and Seniors

Long Beach Blues Society commits to the enduring legacy of blues music through all forms and seeks to continue one of the oldest and purest forms of expression so that those coming up in each generation knows of where it all began. LBBS seeks to teach each generation and encourage the generational creative process to excel through the following programs:

Blues in the Schools (BITS) are classroom- or school-wide performances for low-income K-12 schools done by award-winning blues musicians. The event includes a history of the Blues, demonstrations of styles unique to U.S. regions, musical instrument instruction and musicians sharing about working in the music industry; in 2025, this program will be strongly supported with the addition of a music education consultant to build out relevant and impactful program curriculum. So far this year we have brought Blues music and education to over 7,000 students and teachers in 12+ schools in the Long Beach area.
