Notes From 2011 IBC Memphis, Chapter 1
MEMPHIS, Tenn -- The Shaun Booker Band kicked tail last night in Round 1 of the International Blues Challenge quarter-finals. Focused and on their game! Shaun and the guys are resting before the Round 2 quarter-final this evening.
Its cold in the Blues City -- it has been in the 20s -- but at least most of the entourage was south of the horrendous ice storm that hit home base back in Columbus.
The competition is intense, and there are bands here from pretty much every corner of the globe. For a look at news coverage of the international nature of the International Blues Challenge, here are some feature stories of interest:
- 2011 IBC schedule of events
- Talent pool reflecting global outreach of IBC
- Bluesmen receive honors
- Arkansas gospel band prays prior to IBC performance
- Notes from the Tennessee Jazz/Blues Society
- Television coverage of the IBC
- Live from Beale Street
Stay tuned....!!!
