Prairie Crossroads Blues Society
Champaign-Urbana IL
Our Mission
The Prairie Crossroads Blues Society was formed to educate the public and foster an appreciation of the American Heritage known as "The Blues"; preserve the blues tradition so that generations to come may be able to come to a knowledge and appreciation of the blues; and to promote blues music in East Central Illinois through the promotion of local artists, as well as regional and national talents.
Our goals:
- Promote and educate about "The Blues"
- Bring more Blues events here
- Start a Blues in the Schools educational program
- Become affiliated with the Blues Foundation, so we'll be eligible to sponsor a local band at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in February
Prairie Crossroads Blues Society was formed as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization to promote blues music and artists in East Central Illinois.
