The KVBA is a volunteer organization, from the board of directors to everyone who helps put on the annual festival.  We couldn’t do any of it without our members.

Our members are people just like you who love blues music and want to support the local musicians and venues who allow the music to survive in Kalamazoo.

Our membership supports our programs, which includes the annual Kalamazoo Blues Festival, Blues in Schools program, annual scholarship, sending the winner program, holding a KVBA Blues Challenge and sending the winner to Memphis to compete in the International Blues Challenge, and much more.
