Southern Arizona Blues Heritage Foundation

The Southern Arizona Blues Heritage Foundation is an all volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization established with the intention of creating an active and vital Blues and Heritage scene through education, promotion of live performances, and raising awareness of the music and culture.

Details are coming together and will be announced on our Festival Page as they become available.  Stay tuned!

Late Blossom Blues - Leo "Bud" Welch Documentary will be screened at the Arizona International Film Festival on Weds. April 25th, at 8:00 PM, at The Screening Room. Admission is $8 with a $2 discount for KXCI and SABHF members.  You must show your current membership card.

Born in 1932 in rural segregated Mississippi, Blues- and Gospel singer Leo "Bud" Welch had been a poor man all his life, working hard in the cotton fields and the woods. Until in 2013, after decades of missed opportunities and gigs in local Juke Joints and churches, a Gulf War veteran management rookie teams up with him to take the Blues World by storm. LATE BLOSSOM BLUES tells the incredible story of Welch's very late international success and his lighthearted take on life.

Tom Walbank will be opening the show in his Arizona Blues Hall of Fame style and grace.
