The Kalamazoo Valley Blues Association (KVBA) is a nonprofit organization based in Kalamazoo, MI, dedicated to promoting and preserving the blues genre. Founded in 1994, the association initially focused on organizing the Kalamazoo Blues Festival, but has since expanded its activities to include co-producing blues performances, awarding scholarships, and providing educational workshops and presentations.
Comprised of a diverse membership that includes professionals, students, musicians, and more, the KVBA is united by a shared passion for the blues. With a strong presence in southwest Michigan and members from across the country, the association actively supports local musicians, fosters community engagement, and sends talented artists to compete in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis.
