Blues for Everyone teaches music lovers of all ages the joy of Blues music, fulfilling one of the stated missions of the Minnesota Blues Society “to educate and promote the past, present and future of Blues music in Minnesota”.
Blues for Everyone events are scheduled through schools, community organizations, festivals and events.
Our workshops are custom designed to meet the needs of the audience and can include guitar, harmonica, piano, vocals, or Blues history.
Minnesota Blues Society sponsors “Harmonica Lessons For All Ages” by providing harmonicas and a lesson to workshop participants. MnBS has given over 500 harmonicas to kids in past years.
This program is presented by MnBS Hall of Fame Inductee Everett Smithsonian as well as Harold Tremblay.
