North Jersey Blues Society Seeks to Bring Blues Music Back to the Community

by Zachary Klein, JerseyArts.com - published 2023-06-15

Blues music is an American standard genre dating back decades to the 1890s. Tradition has kept up as many blues artists still have careers today that began many years ago.

This organization is the North Jersey Blues Society, and since its founding in winter 2022, has hosted many events within the North Jersey community seeking to spread awareness of the genre.
