About PBPS: From our love of music and our belief that music is best shared in a community, came the founding of the Piedmont Blues Preservation Society in 1985.

Our non-profit organization works to cultivate and preserve the tradition of blues music. Our mission is to help our community discover the wonder and joy of Blues Culture by raising awareness and providing programming & education to our regional community and schools. We strive to bring quality blues events, including our 35th Annual Carolina Blues Festival, concerts, competitions, workshops, and educational programs to the Piedmont region. We collaborate with other non-profits in support of health-related issues, educational initiatives, and societal concerns.

Our focus is to promote local businesses, the arts, education, tourism and to make the Piedmont region of NC, a great place to live.
