For the Love of Blues Book Club is a new virtual offering from the Cascade Blues Association

We’re building this together, creating a place to explore the people, history and culture behind the sound. Because Blues isn’t just music. It’s story. It’s history. It’s lived experience. It’s a legacy.

This Book Club is a virtual gathering of readers and listeners who want to get to know the artists, the culture, the roots, and the stories behind the sound.

Whether you’ve followed the blues for decades or you’re just beginning to explore, you’re welcome here.

Why a Blues Book Club? Because understanding the blues deepens how we hear it. When you learn about the lives and times behind the music, the songs hit differently. The lyrics carry more weight. The guitar tells a fuller story. This is about honoring the roots and celebrating the legacy.

Interested in Helping Lead?

We are currently seeking one or more volunteers to help launch and guide this virtual book club. This could include:

  • Selecting books
  • Coordinating online or in person meeting dates
  • Facilitating discussion
  • Helping shape the tone and direction of the group

This is a book club for anyone who loves the blues, loves to read, and likes to talk about what they read. If you’re interested in helping bring this to life, please contact CBAstaff@cascadeblues.org
