Welcome to Killerblues.net.

Killer Blues is dedicated to preserving the legacies of the great blues men and women by raising funds to purchase headstones for those artists who through circumstance, or poverty, were buried in unmarked graves. We currently offer two original products, whose profits are used directly for this purpose, including the "Buried in The Blues" music calendar, which is in our opinion, the Best Music Calendar EVER, and an amazing original blues art print titled, "The Blues in Me", co-designed by Steve "The Killer" Salter, and painted by Michigan-based fine artist Melissa Morrow. Killer Blues also sponsors local blues to promote local blues talent and to to raise additional funds.

We thank you for stopping by, and for your continued support of this great American music, and the musicians who have brought it to our ears!   -Killer Blues
The  2009 "Buried in The Blues Calendar"...The Best Music Calendar EVER!

This calendar is the first of its kind. It’s not just another music calendar filled with the birthdays of famous musicians – it is, rather, chock full of the death dates of the artists as well. Why? Because, not only were these artists responsible for changing the course of music as we know it during their lives, but so influential were they that their music has lived on long after their death. Many of these artists sadly, were so poor that their graves remain unmarked to this day. The profits from the sales of this calendar will go towards purchasing proper markers for those bluesmen who lie in unmarked graves.

 

"The Blues in Me"-Original Blues Art

This original painting, titled, "The Blues in Me" was conceptualized by Steve Salter of Killer Blues, and hand painted by Melissa Morrow, an independent artist from West Michigan. It features 13 legendary central figures of the blues including Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Petie Wheatstraw, Charlie Patton, Alan Lomax and many others. It was originally unveiled at the First Annual White Lake Blues Festival in Whitehall, MI in May of 2008. It is currently available for purchase as poster prints on high quality glossy professional photo paper, and as a high quality print on real canvas, using the highest quality professional inks, and comes with a legend of the names of the musicians featured. All proceeds from print sales go towards raising money for purchasing headstones for deceased blues artists. Poster prints are $20 each, and canvas prints are $300, plus shipping.
