The Atlanta Blues Society celebrates and perpetuates the blues as a traditional, evolutionary, and uniquely American art form. We are a non-profit, all-volunteer "force" of blues enthusiasts. Our members are a delightfully diverse group of people--all ages, colors, and creeds--who have fun keeping the blues alive.

Breaking News: July Member Meeting and Jam The meeting at Shorty's started with the Blues and ended with the Blues -- but along the way, there were a few Rock and R&B twists and turns by the Men in Blues, musical hosts for the meeting. The weather was definitely warm, but the cool musical vibes, and the fabulous food (awesome pizza!) more than made up for the sizzle outside. ABS members completely took over Shorty's and nearly overwhelmed the kitchen. However, Ted, one of the wait staff was totally complimentary of the crowd, their patience -- and their tips! The short business meeting was quickly taken care of, including Deb's announcement of the Baby Girl Capote Baby Pool. Then Ed Aquesta and B.B. (not King!) did a short acoustic set, followed up by an outstanding member's jam, including Mike "Cathead" Nunn, Nick Edelstein, Randie Flame, a wonderful young singer named Mandi, as well as others like Jim and Joe (great harp!), who only gave their first names on the jam sign up sheet! The Men in Blues finished out the afternoon with a a smokin' short set -- capped off by a outstanding ten minute rendition of Not Fade Away, a medley which weaves from Third Stone of the Sun to Turn on Your Love Light.
