List of Canadian Blues societies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article lists Canadian blues societies, which are voluntary organizations that promote the appreciation and performance of blues music. Blues societies are often involved in the organization or promotion of local blues festivals and educational activities such as presentations on blues history, elementary school "outreach" activities, and workshops.
Some blues societies organize awards for blues musicians. For example, the Toronto Blues Society has organized the Maple Blues Awards, an awards show for all Canadian blues musicians that has an annual gala.
