Battle of the Blues Bands 2009
ATTENTION ALL BLUES BANDS!
If you want a shot at the big time, them I have got an offer for you. We are looking for the best Blues bands in Alabama to compete in the 2009 Battle of Blues Bands contest.
This event will be held at
Rogue Tavern on Sunday, July 26th at 2pm.
There will be two first place winners that day; one in the band category and there will also be a solo/duo winner. These winners will be eligible to compete in the Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge in Memphis in early 2010. This showcase includes artists from the 150+ Blues societies around the world. The winner of the IBC will get a lot of sponsorship opportunities and will be booked for some of the most prestigious Blues festivals around the country. Many of these artists have used this to hit the national Blues scene.
The winners will be booked for paying gigs, playing for MCBS events. They will also receive a stipend from the MCBS to help offset traveling costs to Memphis. The first place winner of the band competition this year will headline one of the Phelan Park shows in the fall. The second place winner will open up for Blues Ball in December. The third place winner will play for our birthday party in January. The fourth place winner will play for the Alabama Jazz & Blues Federation Labor Day show in Montgomery. The solo/duo winner and second place finisher will each play at a future MCBS gigs in the next year.
Now that we know what the Holy Grail is, let’s talk about the rules and eligibility. Here are the rules:
