Killer Blues is a Non-profit organization located in Whitehall, MI, which is dedicated to raising monies for the purchase of headstones for deceased blues artists who lie in unmarked graves. Killer Blues raises money through the sale of our annual blues calendar, "Buried in The Blues", and an original art print by Melissa Morrow titled, "The Blues in Me", as well as through our blues events which are usually held at The Howmet Playhouse in Whitehall, MI. We also accept private donations.
Killer Blues began as Steve Salter's portable blues record/CD store which could be seen all around Michigan for years at blues events. After nearly a decade selling blues merchandise, Steve decided to devote his energies towards purchasing headstones for and raising public awareness of the many great blues artists who lie in unmarked graves.
Steve has been a catalyst in raising awareness for both Otis Spann and Hound Dog Taylor's headstones, and since creating the first "Buried in The Blues Calendar" in 2008, Killer Blues has purchased headstones for Luther Tucker, Big Maceo Merriweather, Walter Vinson, and most recently Washboard Sam.
