You’ll find all manner of information here relating to our monthly jam, special concerts, merchandising, affiliations, newsletter, membership and gigs in and around Canberra featuring local, interstate and international blues performers.
The Society is working toward increasing membership benefits, developing fresh concepts for its monthly jam and special concerts, raising its profile in the Australian Capital Territory and beyond and increasing the promotion of the Blues in its many forms.

You’re invited to experience the expansion of the Society, perhaps as a member, a musician, a Blues music fan or any combination of these. Enjoy what our website has to offer and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have a band or performer to recommend, some Blues news, a blazing new guitar lick to share or perhaps a web link to a remarkable Blues tune, gig or festival.

We look forward to you visiting our website again. If you’re not a Canberra Blues Society member, then we’d be delighted to have you join the Society and share in the experience of the Blues.

Mitch Preston

President, Canberra Blues Society
