More than a concert, the evening serves as a fundraiser benefiting both the Killer Blues Headstone
Project, a national nonprofit located in Whitehall, that provides proper headstones for blues artists
buried in unmarked graves, and the Muskegon Blues Collective, whose mission is to restore a
vibrant blues tradition in West Michigan through outstanding live performances and community
engagement.

The Muskegon Blues Collective is a volunteer-led organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and growing
blues music throughout West Michigan through live performances, education, community partnerships and
support of blues preservation efforts. Proceeds from Collective events support both future concerts and the
Killer Blues Headstone Project. For more information, search Muskegon Blues Collective on Facebook.
About the Killer Blues Headstone Project

The Killer Blues Headstone Project, a 501c3 nonprofit, was founded in 2009 by local blues lover Steve
Salter. On his way through Chicago, Steve decided to stop at a couple of cemeteries in an area
known for the resting places of several blues artists he knew and loved. He was greatly shocked to
find that many blues artists had no markers on their graves. It was at that point he decided to do
something about it – the rest is history.

The mission of the Killer Blues Headstone Project is to provide headstones for blues artists lying in
unmarked graves. Since its inception, the project has helped fund and place over 185 headstones in
17 states.
