There is a vibrant music scene in San Angelo, Texas and the San Angelo Blues Society is proud to lead the way in promoting the Blues.
We are the only Blues Society in the West Texas area that is an active member of the Blues Foundation, Memphis, Tennessee. And we think that is kinda special. We have a ball working hard to promote the Blues . . .so much that we won the City of San Angelo’s Spirit Award in 2009 for our ‘Simply Texas Blues Festival’ we produce the second Saturday of each May. (See the Simply Texas Blues Festival tab for the 2013 festival details.)
We invite you to dive on into our site to explore all things Blue in our fair city and hope that where ever you may be that you share in keeping the Blues alive within your community.

Legendary blues guitarist Anson Funderburgh has produced and played lead guitar in The Mill Block Blues album. Proceeds from the album sales has gone to The Blues Foundations HART Fund. To date, I have donated over $10,000 from the album sales. You can verify this by contacting The Blues Foundation http://www.blues.org/#ref=index My goal is to do another $1,000 donation. If you could, please notify the members of your blues society of what we’re doing. You can check us out at our web site http://www.ruffkuttblues.com/ .
Also the title song of The Mill Block Blues is currently a co winner of The Coolest Blues Song of 2011 sponsored by the Big City Rhythm and Blues magazine.

I went to school at Angelo State for one year until I got my draft notice! Loved it there! I know you love the Blues and so do I. Anson Funderburgh and some of his band members (The Rockets) and I did a blues album called the Mill Block Blues. Anson and I donated over $10,000 to the Blues Foundation’s HART Fund from the sales of the album. We also won the most votes for “The Coolest Blues Song of 2011″ competition sponsored by The Big City Rhythm and Blues Magazine. Please check out our web site for more information. One of my buddies still lived in San Angelo and I will drop by when I go visit him. Good luck and God Bless!
Just and old blues drummer still playing with the best
Where are you Richie? We miss you !
I can see how this city would have the blues since the blues is derived of the pain and suffering of the American Negro living in poverty I think this is a great thing.. Living in San Angelo is about equivalent of one living in one of the most boring and retarded cities in the county…
Apparently you do not live here. Sorry you feel the wrong kind of blues.
