Back in the fourth quarter of 2010 when we founded ABS aside from a small number of enthusiastic bloggers there was little structured information or reliable content revolving specifically around blues music. We decided to reliably publish regular content not only about the most exciting contemporary acts but also the broad sometimes hidden history of the blues genre and the incredible ways it has shaped not only the country but the world?s culture. Nearly 1 500 articles and ten thousand miles of travel later we?re continuing to pioneer quality music content for a blues and roots fanbase.
