The Apalachee Blues Society became a Florida Not For Profit Corporation on December 29, 2000 at which time the Society began to implement its mission statement:

One of the Apalachee Blues Society's objectives is to bring special Blues concerts and shows to the Tallahassee region and to support Tallahassee's many venues that present Blues music. Some ABS-sponsored events are benefits for local Blues musicians, charities and non-profit service organizations. ABS events and donations over the past two years are summarized in the ABS Activities and Accomplishments Report.

Another of the objectives of the Apalachee Blues Society is to educate the community about the history, importance and vibrancy of Blues music. So far, three ABS member musicians, Sir Charles Atkins, Jon Copps and Randall "Big Daddy" Webster plus Handy Award-winning Bluesman, Otis Taylor, have presented "Blues in the Schools" programs under the auspices of ABS. As a recipient of a $5,000 Leon County Cultural Development grant, the Apalachachee Blues Society will be enhancing its Blues in the Schools Project with numerous programs in January and February, 2003.

Annual membership in the Apalachee Blues Society costs $7 for students, $15 for individuals and $25 for families, households and bands. Membership benefits include discounts at most ABS shows and at most Bradfordville Blues Club shows, participation in monthly acoustic jams, periodic newsletters and other mailings. Join the Apalachee Blues Society and keep the Blues alive!
