Southland Blues began as a small newsletter for local Long Beach area Blues fans in 1990 and over the years has grown into Southern California's primary Blues magazine with distribution to over 150 targeted blues locations throughout Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. Subscribership includes readers in many other U.S. states and a number of foreign countries.
