Blues is a genre of music that originated in African American communities of primarily the South of the United States at the end of the 19th century. It’s subdivided into several subgenres or styles ranging from Delta, Piedmont, Chicago, Kansas City, New Orleans, Detroit, electric and acoustic blues, soul, R&B and many others.

We hope you’ll enjoy the variety here which includes some of the more contemporary blues musicians such as Chris Smither, Shemekia Copeland, Eric Bibb, and Bonnie Raitt with the old masters such as Blind Willie McTell, Etta James, and Big Bill Broozy.
