We got the blues for Edmonton
About Us

The Edmonton Blues Society (EBS) is a registered non-profit society in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Our mission is to promote and facilitate local blues musicians and fans coming together to enjoy the music they love, by:

  • giving amateur, developing and professional Blues musicians
    a chance to play to a supportive audience
  • members and guests get the opportunity to hear and party
    to good blues music in a safe and friendly family environment
  • encouraging young local blues musicians, and
  • contributing to local charities
     

EBS is completely run by volunteers who are blues fans and/or musicians themselves! 

The bylaws of the Edmonton Blues Society are now available online for review.
