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.
