Sounds like it was a tight competition this year. Nobody from this state- Arkansas- nailed any awards but we had several competitors from different blues societies in the state go and compete.
Our latest cd, Jawbone and Jolene: Lifestyles of the Poor and Infamous- made it into the top 30 for Best Self Produced CD honors. not quite to the finals but we were totally amazed and thrilled that we landed someplace between #30 and #6 World Wide!
we're planning ahead for next year, either a new cd or a fresh band to compete locally and make a Memphis trip in a year!
