About Back to the Blues
Our Mission/Vision/Values Statement
Gospel Blues Productions is a not-for-profit organization that promotes the Gospel Blues both locally and internationally via the “Back to the Blues Gospel Blues Festival” that takes place in a down home venue, the Atchlitz Thresherman Heritage Village. This little village is nestled in the upper Fraser Valley in Chilliwack, B.C. Canada.
Our board of directors is a crazy bunch of Blues luvin’ Believers that share the same vision and are incredibly excited about sharing that with others by making a difference in our world!
Mission
Our two fold mission is having a passion for hosting a family event with great music that promotes a positive message for all generations and to bring much needed awareness to less fortunate regions by providing fresh drinking water through our water drilling projects.
Vision
By 2012 will have reached the lives of 10,000 people in need by providing fresh drinking water to Third World communities and neighboring areas while spreading the Good News of hope and encouragement to our local communities through music.
Values
We have an unwavering commitment to our Mission
We are positive and passionate about everything we do
We are honest, open and keep our commitments
We are fun, friendly and caring
Our Faith is at the centre of everything we do
Influences
Jesus Christ first and formost who is faithful in all things: all of those blues musicans who have struggled with the good, the bad, and the glorious. All the christian brothers and sisters, the still searching brothers and sisters who struggle with their faith at times but keep taking one step at a time.

BacktoBlues Fest was started in Chilliwack BC Canada in 2003 by a few brothers who felt called to do something that would glorify Christ, help people, and just flat out be fun. It just gets better every year!!!
The 2009 Back2Blues Fest Guitar is in the works. Shannon Coberly of Trimmed And Burnin Amps/Guitars is building this guitar to donate to the Back2Blues mission of drilling water wells in undeveloped countries.
This guitar is a one of a kind guitar, designed for Back2Blues Fest that will never be reproduced to these specs again and comes with a Certificate Of Authenticity signed by the builder. Please go to www.back2blues.com for ticket info and purchases.
