The group conducted Blues workshops, for fifth-graders followed by a performance for the entire student body. Each student participant in the workshops received their own harmonica provided courtesy of Limestone Bank and played during the assembly.

“The Kentucky Blues Society has been teaching Kentucky’s rich Blues history through the Blues in Schools since 2005, as well as involving students in Blues performance and musical techniques.
