“Buck Up for the Blues”
The National Blues Museum (NBM) announces the kickoff of its grassroots initiative “Buck Up for the Blues.”  Designed to generate funding for the National Blues Museum in St. Louis, Mo, the campaign offers supporters the chance to “show their colors.” Donors can receive NBM-logoed merchandise and will be listed on the support page as a founding member.

“It’s a chance for St. Louisans to support a civic asset that will draw international tourists as well as create new job opportunities for people in the community,” said Mike Kociela, NBM board member and founder of the Bluesweek Festival.

Music makes the world go ‘round – What goes around comes around. “Buck Up for the Blues” and become part of NBM history.
