It’s time for the annual Notice of Election for members of the Board of Directors for the Kansas City Blues Society (KCBS). This is a call for Blues lovers to step up and provide support to this wonderful organization. Betty’s term as President will end in January 2025 and now the BOD needs your support and involvement. The organization is on an exciting trajectory in fulfilling our mission of promoting and preserving blues music. We do this through monthly meetings/jams at local venues; partnering with venues to promote shows featuring local and national musicians; sponsoring the “Road to Memphis,” KCBS’ local IBC to find a band and solo/duo artist to represent Kansas City in Memphis; presenting the annual Women in Blues show featuring women-led bands; bringing you our signature show, Blues in the Bottoms, with national and local musicians; and administering the Michael Shannon Musicians Fund, which supports Blues musicians experiencing financial hardships. There is an excellent, hardworking BOD already in place to help make any transitions easy.
Please consider stepping up and becoming a part of this organization that is important to our vibrant Kansas City music scene.
