Our Story
The Wiregrass Blues Society was founded in 2013 to celebrate and preserve the rich blues music heritage of the Wiregrass region in Alabama. This initiative followed the establishment of the Wiregrass Blues Festival in 2011, honoring the legendary blues guitarist Eddie Kirkland. Through various programs, including the Blues-in-Schools outreach initiative, the Society educates the public about their blues heritage and promotes the vibrant culture of blues music.
