Mission Statement
The San Luis Obispo Blues Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing the Central
Coast with high quality Blues music performances at reasonable prices. Our dance-concerts provide an opportunity
for people to get close to the performers and move with the music.
The San Luis Obispo Blues Society typically produces 7 shows per year. We also distribute a newsletter to over 2000
households that includes show announcements, artist bios, a calendar of other local Blues events and CD reviews.
Our all volunteer organization was founded in 1980 and is the third oldest Blues Society in the country.
Call 805/541-7930 before the show to volunteer.
