We have all been through so much in the last year and half, and the Board so appreciates our member’s support for the Blues Society.

Our annual Battle of Bands is coming up in November. We will be sending updates via our website, email and Facebook. If you would like to volunteer to help with the event, please let us know.

We have enjoyed catching up with many of you in the last couple of months, and we look forward to seeing more of our members in the future.

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.

Our mission is to preserve and promote the Blues music art form. We will accomplish this with many ongoing society events. We support the local Santa Clarita Valley Blues Community, the Wrightwood Blues Society, and Los Angeles Blues Society through this website.

We will be publishing society-member band links and gig schedules, monthly blues jams and other events as well as fundraisers and concerts.

Come and check us out at our next monthly "2nd Sunday Blues Jam" at the Newhall American Legion Post 507. See our Calendar and Events page for any schedules pertaining to the SCV Blues Society and community.

If you have a passion for the Blues, we would love to have you in our membership. You do not have to be a musician to join, just have an appreciation for the Blues and love to have fun!

Letter From The President

I am truly delighted to be elected President of the Santa Clarita Valley Blues Society. It is a great honor to again receive this position. The SCVBS has become a cherished part of my music and social life, and I do feel truly privileged to have the opportunity to serve here.

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.
