Preserving the Past - Promoting the Future!
LONG BEACH BLUES SOCIETY
Long Beach Blues Society ceo Bill Grisolia is ongoingly looking for ways to support local blues musicians. One of the most popular initiatives that his organization works on is the Blues for Vets program, which provides memorable music at hospitals and festivals for veterans throughout Southern California.
Blues for Vets​
Blues For Vets uses the transformational power of music and creativity to support veterans’ psychological and emotional needs by connecting professional blues artists with local veterans through workshops and performances. Veterans face many challenges in their personal lives such as depression, feelings of loneliness, anxiety, trauma, and loss. Through the art of music, they can learn to express these feelings in a healthy way, and as a result, experience healing and positivity, and feel connected to a friendly community who is here to help them move forward in life.
