Our Mission

To enhance the vitality of Blues and American Roots music by supporting live performance and education.

Our Vision

To support the blues music scene in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Denver areas. We support both local musicians and provide platforms for local and regional musicians to be heard by the blues-loving public.

Daniel PPBC

The Board and membership want to express our deepest condolences to our friends Sabrina and Jeff Aston on the tragic loss of their beloved Son Daniel Davis Aston at Club Q. Jeff, our membership director and Sabrina, our current President, have served on our board for over five years.

They raised an exceptional individual who is now part of a group of icons to the world, raised on love and taken by hate. Our mourning extends to all affected. Hopefully, our town may become more tolerant of all. Our wish is for peace, love and understanding.

Please consider donating to Daniel's memorial fund in support of Jeff and Sabrina.

Upcoming Blues Events


Pikes Peak Blues Community

International Blues Challenge 2023

IBC PPBC

2003 was designated, by the U.S. Congress as The Year of the Blues. In light of this fact blues fans, musicians, and club owners partnered to launch a local organization that would benefit the citizens of the Pikes Peak Region, by developing partnerships and connections for live performance. 

It is 2023 and in spite of numerous challenges including a pandemic the PPBC continues to carry on the vision of the original founders twenty years later. We intend to continue and expand that vision and one of our kick-off events is a Blues Challenge in support of the 2023 IBC Challenge in Memphis.

Colorado musicians are encouraged to enter as a solo/duo act or a band (3 or more). Winners of their respective category will earn the right to represent the PPBC in Memphis.
