Blues music is one of the most influential genres in the history of modern music. The history of Blues music is a testament to its enduring power and influence. The Blues allows for expression and documentation.
The Interstate 5 Blues Association honors the rich heritage of the Blues while transforming it into a lifeline, offering supportive programs, meaningful partnerships, and safe spaces where creativity, belonging, and hope can thrive.
We deliver programs and community support that uplift Veterans, their families, underserved artists, and protect lives across the communities we serve.
Relying on heavy community participation, we maintain an unapologetic support for unhoused U.S. Veterans and underserved Blues professionals, groups that often overlap, as well as others without doors including teens and seniors in the target area. We do this by using trained music‑therapy professionals, and other music industry professionals to harness the Blues’ authentic emotional strength and its modern role as a catalyst for expression, connection, and healing.
If you are someone who appreciates the power of music to touch the soul, and strengthen the mental wellness of every community we reach, we invite you to become a part of the Interstate 5 Blues Association by becoming a member.
Join us in celebrating the music, history, and culture of the Blues as we turn kindness and civility into measurable hope, resilience, and saved lives.
