Key Palace Blues Society Auction and Membership Drive

Key Palace Theater is excited to introduce our non-profit Key Palace Blues Society. Key Palace Blues Society will be dedicated to preserving Blues heritage and increasing awareness of and appreciation of the Blues as an indigenous American art form (the wellspring from which all contemporary popular American music originated). To further our mission Key Palace Blues Society has created several programs.

Blues in the Schools -  Musicians as well as other professionals in the field will  present music and information to students at all levels (kindergarten - College). We will also donate Blues-related materials (books, videos and CDs) to public libraries and offer educational programs in conjunction with those donations.

Indiana Blues Music Awards - We will honor Indiana musicians who have made extraordinary contributions to Blues music as an indigenous art form.

John Runyon Memorial Scholarship - A special scholarship will be presented to a High School Student in Jay County Indiana who is choosing Music as a career field and is willing to bring some expertise to Key Palace Blues Society.

International Blues Challenge - IBCrepresents the worldwide search for blues bands and solo/duo blues performers ready for the international stage, yet just needing that extra big break. The world’s largest gathering of blues musicians takes place on Beale Street, with over 20 clubs hosting the challengers and fans. In addition to featuring these final rounds of the prestigious blues music competition, the IBC event week offers seminars, showcases, master classes, film screenings, networking events, book signings, and receptions for blues societies, fans, and professionals.

The Governor Davis Kids Rock Program - Any school aged child who shows an interest in music The Governor Davis Kids Rock Program will give them a platform. More info coming soon.
