The Santa Clarita Valley Blues Society, established in 2003, is one of the youngest Blues Societies in the World. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and are affiliated with the International Organization "The Blues Foundation" in Memphis, Tennessee.

Our mission is to preserve and promote the Blues music art form.
We will accomplish this with many ongoing Society Events.

We support the local Santa Clarita Valley and Los Angeles Blues
scene thru this website, Member Band links & gig notices, our "Blues Friends" email list, Society member email list, Monthly "Blues News" newsletter, Online Calendar, Monthly Blues Jams and other Events, Fundraisers and Concerts.

Also, we are in the midst of implementing our new "Blues In The
Schools" Program and are looking for volunteers to help us teach our youngsters about the History of Blues Music.

Come and check us out at our next Monthly Membership Meeting & Blues Jam at The Londoner in Canyon Country to find out what we are doing.

See the Calendar & Events page for time and dates of our Monthly Membership Meetings and Jams.

If you have a passion for the Blues, we would love to have you in our membership. You don't have to be a musician to join, just have an appreciation for the Blues and love to have fun!

Cody has a rich heritage of country, blues and rock. His musical journey began early and has been his enduring passion.

Whether he was sharing a stage with Bonnie Rait, Taj Mahal and X or performing with members of the Eagles, Dwight Yoakam and Lenny Kravitz or picking notes for the words that best conveyed his innermost feelings, he continued to persist.

Active on the West Coast, LePow has played the clubs from the Troubadour, B.B. Kings, The Palomino, Ventura Theater, Belmont Station, Blues Cafe' and the Bugaloo, as a band and solo artist.

Cody's songs have appeared on several soundtracks and he has just signed a contract with Mastersources in L.A. for upcoming films.
