There are so many important and talented blues musicians from Alabama. Below is the list we have compiled of present and past blues artists from the state. To be included in the list, musicians must have been born, died or lived a significant part of their life in the state. This is a work in progress and we are constantly finding new artist to include.

In the current economic climate, state and federal funding for the arts is being cut nationwide, and the Alabama Blues Project is feeling the effects of those cuts. We are seeking help from individuals and organizations to subsidize the program costs for at-risk children who attend our 2010 Summertime Blues Camp. The registration per child is $200 for the week. Any donation to defray the cost of providing the Alabama Blues Project's Summertime Blues Camp is appreciated! The ABP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and your donation is tax deductible to the extent allowed the law. 
The ABP makes a special effort to attract at-risk children who might not otherwise have access to arts programming. We partner with the Boys & Girls Club of West Alabama, YMCA, Tuscaloosa Housing Authority, United Methodist Children’s Home, DHR, and Brewer Porch Children’s Center to provide our services to the children in our community who will benefit from them the most. This amazing program is open to other area children of all backgrounds and experience levels. It is our desire to provide children with the opportunity to learn about this important American art form in a diverse, safe, nurturing, and fun environment.
