Our History

A non-profit organization, the Foundation sponsors the Music in the Schools Program, the Baton Rouge Blues Foundation Awards and Baton Rouge Blues Week. Sparked and guided by a strong Strategic Plan, the Foundation opened its doors to a general membership on August 31, 2006, with a very successful jam session at Phil Brady’s. The Jam was hosted by South Louisiana legend, Tab Benoit, and included performances by Tabby Thomas, Buddy Flett, Henry Gray, Herman Jackson, Deacon John, Luther Kent, Bobby Campo,Chris Belleau, and Andy Pizzo.
