Kansas City Blues Society
The Kansas City Blues Society creates a community environment to promote, preserve, enjoy, and celebrate Kansas City Blues music.
It was created by a music lover who wants performers and venues to be able to make music and get paid, and for fans to be able to easily find their favorite musicians and the venues where they can be seen.
Owned and operated by the renowned blues harmonica virtuoso Bob Corritore, this venue plays an essential role in supporting and nurturing the blues tradition.
