A ‘Guide to experiencing the Blues in St. Louis‘, from St. Louis Magazine. STLBlues appreciates all the highlights they include, and of course the STLBlues.net mention.
Some of the highlights –
The St. Louis Blues Society has FIVE different compilation CDs available on their website! All STL Artists!!

This popular end-of-summer celebration pays tribute to St. Louis’ storied blues history and showcases the talents of national and local artists.

Find world class Blues music all over this town!
