One working definition of that would be any Song saved with a Blues style.
Another working definition of that would be any song saved with metadata Genre of 'Blues', except that such seemingly does not exist! (unlike Jazz, Pop, Country)

I'm not sure that there is a filter feature available that only lists songs that contain any thing related to a Blues (or other genre) Style. Others may know more.

Using the Song Picker feature, you could point the folder location to your RealTracks Demo folder and then use the Filter String "Blues" - for me, this resulted in 763 demo songs being listed.

I get similar results (739 items), though many of them are duplicates.
So, do I understand correctly that the BIAB distribution contains actual song files (.SGU, .MGU) provided for the purpose of demo'ing the Realtracks located here:
C:\bb\Demos\RealTracks - Demos
and that these are effectively complete songs available for the user to use and/or repurpose as desired?
Certainly this seems like a resource I'll not quickly exhaust!

FWIW, as a general purpose ability, I think it would be a fine addition to the Song Picker to allow users to search for Songs (wherever they are) based on the style genre of the Style stored with the Song.

Yes, definitely agreed. My understanding is that the Song Picker currently finds songs containing the selected word, not the internally used style genre. A good one for the wishlist, sj1?

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
