“BOOGIE WOOGIE” BOB PETERS SCHOLARSHIP
The Kalamazoo Valley Blues Association will once again offer our annual music scholarship. This scholarship is sponsored by KVBA and the Bob Peters Family and this year’s recipient will be awarded $1,500. This general scholarship is for a graduating Senior who has been involved in music programs during their High School career.
The KVBA and the Boogie Woogie Bob Peters Music Scholarship joined forces in 2013 to create a fund dedicated to the memory & musical legacy of “Boogie Woogie” Bob Peters, a well-known local keyboardist, guitar player and music historian. Peters, a multi-talented artist who was a fixture on the local music landscape for decades, passed away suddenly on March 13, 2010. He left behind a legacy of music, art and relationships that his family, friends and loyal fans strive to keep alive. A vision of keeping that legacy and passion alive and passing it along for future generations became the mission of the scholarship fund.
Stay tuned for more information on the 2024 scholarship!
