The live experience
What reaches the room
Charlotte Blues Festival is a celebrated part of Charlotte's rich blues landscape, organized and supported by the Charlotte Blues Society (CBS). While there isn’t a standalone artist by this exact name, the festival identity represents the region’s deep connection to blues music, community jams, and ongoing live performances across the city. CBS has grown since 1993, promoting festivals, competitions like the IBC Blues Challenge, and weekend blues events that bring local and touring acts to stages around Charlotte.
