We will also be competing in the 28th International Blues Challenge Feb1-4th in Memphis ,TN. This is an amazing event that will feature 226 acts from all over the world. Single day wristbands are available for only $10.00 and get you into any venue in the competition. IBC will be held January 31- February 4 2012 in 20 venues in the Beale Street Historic District. That is 5 days consisting of over 575 performances by 226 acts. The 2012 challenge will bring 748 musicians from 40 states and a record 16 countries to downtown Memphis, Tennessee for the largest gathering of Blues artists…in the history of the World! To produce an event of this size it will take over 200 volunteers and 108 judges to pick the top acts from this colossal gathering.

October Blues News is here! There is a typo though. The Acoustic Jam was Sunday Oct 2, NOT Oct 9. So don’t show up at Phelan Park this Sunday expecting the Jam. Make it next Sunday, Oct 16 for the last installment of the Phelan Park Music Series with Big Papa and After2Glasses. BYOB and BYOC(hair). Please try to bring aluminum cans so we can recycle. For safety, if you bring glass, plan to take it out with you. Hope to see you soon!
