Blues Matters! is a bimonthly British blues magazine.

History

Blues Matters! was founded by Alan Pearce in 1999.[1] It is published on a bimonthly basis.[2][1] Alan King and Darren Howells (until 2009) previously served as the magazine's editor-in-chief.[1]

The Blues Foundation, in Memphis, Tennessee, awarded the magazine the "Keeping the Blues Alive" (KBA) Award for 2007, in the Print Media category.[1] This is only the second time a British publication has received the award, and the first time for a Welsh production.
