Welcome
Welcome to the Killer Blues Headstone Project. We are a licensed 501(c)3 non-profit whose mission is to provide headstones for blues artists lying in unmarked graves. Since 2008 we have helped fund and place over 170 headstones in 16 states!
Our mission is ongoing. We have a long list of blues artists who have no marker, but we know where they are buried. We will place headstones for each individual as funds become available. We have an even longer list of ones that we are still searching for and verifying their final resting places so we can learn if they have a marker.
Our purpose is a labor of love and a way to give back. It has been through the love, support, and donations of blues fans that have made it possible to honor those 170 artists with a simple marker acknowledging and honoring their contribution to the uniquely American art form we know as The Blues.
