Welcome To

Santa Clarita Valley's

Home of the Blues

In spite of the Covid disruptions your Blues

Society is finishing off the year on an upward

trend.

November 14, 2021 was one long day.  First,

we put on a competition for the January 2022

IBC.  We were rewarded by five very talented

bands and two single/duo entries.

The audience greeted and cheered each of the contestants.  The competitors really put their

hearts into their performances.  A huge Thank

You to each and every player.

As the day rolled  on we did not slow down

as the Legion was switched over for our

regular 2nd Sunday Jam.

Our wonderful host, the Rick Berthod Band really won the hearts of the audience and got the Jam

rolling.

Additionally, we were blessed to share the

company of the newly weds:

Dave and Ashley Sanders.  

.................

December 12th is just around the corner and

of course we have to set our sights on next

month's Jam.

For those of you who are still sitting on the 

side lines, we encourge you to join your Blues

Society in welcoming the:

              Truth Jones Band

Who we are and

what we are about

​The Santa Clarita Valley Blues Society was established in 2003 and is one of the younger Blues Societies in the world.  We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and we are affiliated with the international organization "The Blues Foundation" in Memphis, Tennessee.

Letter From The President

The new SCVBS board of directors will be taking this organization to the next level.  We feel the SCVBS is in very good order thanks to our past President Steve Brittain and Board, and do not plan any major changes.  We will, however, always be looking for ways to reach more Blues Lovers out there and welcome many new members to our musical family!

If you love the blues as we do, we welcome you to join us in this endeavor.  Your input and involvement will be greatly appreciated.  Please feel free to discuss any issues with Vice President Jeri Goldenhar, Secretary Leslie Wenke, Treasurer Julie Kuritzkes or any one of our directors.

The following Board members

were elected October 10, 2021
