detroit blues is blues played by musicians residing in and around detroit, michigan, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s. detroit blues originated when delta blues performers migrated north from the mississippi delta and memphis, tennessee, to work in industrial plants in detroit in the 1920s and 1930s. typical detroit blues is similar in style to chicago blues. its sound is distinguished from delta blues by the use of electric amplified instruments and more varied instrumentation, including the bass guitar and piano.
