ABOUT
The Grand County Blues Society (GCBS) non-profit (501c3) was created in 2002 to enhance the cultural existence of Grand County residents and to be a beacon for our friends and visitors who love escaping to the shadow of the Continental Divide. For well over a decade, the GCBS has produced 24 Blues Festivals, over 299 individual blues concerts, and has continued its support of our primary programs.
Check Out The Music
The GCBS has been a pioneer in the realm of blues music education. School-age kids across Grand County are lucky to have been immersed in the blues. Not only have they been entertained by all the programs that have come their way, they have been on the stage, creating their own “bluesical” and giving performances on the festival stages over the years.
Blue Star Connection is our most notable program and in it’s 23rd year. Blue Star Connection has supplied over 98+ Children’s Hospitals with valuable and plentiful collections of musical instruments for their music therapy departments. BSC has also gifted over 800+ personal instruments to children with life-threatening health issues. We continue to support the music therapy industry with constant fundraising & an all-out effort to continue the mission of BSC. Music Therapy needs an advocate, and we are proud to be considered a front-runner. We have done all of this with an all-volunteer board, and a very loyal and generous membership.
