Cincy Blues Society

Cincy Blues Society Your connection to soul satisfying music and community since 1990! Visit https://cincyblues.org/about During the Pandemic we will not be holding open meetings.

The Cincy Blues Society holds open meetings on the 1st Monday of every month. Check https://cincyblues.org/meetings/ for locations and times. We will let you know when we will be holding open meetings again. Thank You. Since the Cincy Blues Society’s founding in 1990, the area blues scene has expanded from a handful of bands and clubs with very few national acts touring through, to a vibrant local

scene with over 40 bands, numerous clubs, several yearly blues festivals and multi-act events produced by the Cincy Blues Society as well as other organizations and businesses, and a healthy stream of national touring acts coming through our area. We’re proud that so many of the national acts we’ve had at the Cincy Blues Fest have made this area a return stop for their tours. The Cincy Blues Society is a member-supported, 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization which encourages and facilitates both performance and educational events and projects based around blues music. Our mission is to promote and advance the culture and tradition of Blues music as an original American art form. The Cincy Blues Society is proudly sponsored by the Ohio Arts Council. More info on the Ohio Arts Council can be found at: http://oac.ohio.gov/

The Cincy Blues Society holds monthly open meetings with a social event and blues band.

ALL LOCAL BLUES BANDS.....TIME TO START GETTING YOUR ENTRIES IN TO PLAY IN THE 2025 CHALLENGE
The Cincy Blues Society is seeking emerging artists to compete in the Cincy Blues Challenge which will take place on Sunday, June 8, 2025 at Jim & Jack's 3456 River Rd, Cincinnati Ohio 45204. At the new location the 2025 Cincy Blues Challenge will be held indoors out of the weather.
Whether you play contemporary blues, blues rock, soul blues, country blues, or traditional blues, this competition is for you. We’re seeking to modernize and expand the genre as well as attract younger artists and audiences. We’re interested in whatever your creative vision of blues is, and of course, talented acts who can put on an engaging live performance.
This is an independently judged competition. Judges will be listening for inspired and original song selections or new takes on blues standards. Creative reach is encouraged.
Prizes include a performance slot at this summer’s Cincy Blues Fest July 12, 2025 as well as entry into the International Blues Challenge in Memphis,TN in early 2026. A good showing at the International competition has helped a number of acts launch their professional careers.

Love that one of the Best Pianist, Ricky Nye, plays for the elderly at various homes for the elderly. Today he played at the Summit of Blue Ash cheering up those who have trouble getting out for live music. A staff member there sent me this photo and said the residents were so happy.
