Established to build community among blues musicians, the NY/NJ Blues Collective is an e-group comprised of informally affiliated artists & groups from the New York/New Jersey area. Participants in the group are musicians (pro, semi-pro and amateur) who are currently active on the NY/NJ blues scene. The Collective e-group exists as a 'Roadhouse in Cyberspace': a place for New York & New Jersey area blues acts and artists to get together on-line for the exchange ideas, promotion of upcoming events/shows and discussion of current issues.
