Tommy Lee Cook's CD advances to second round of 2013 Best Self-Produced CD Contest



December News from The Blues Foundation announced today that Florida is also represented in the final selection group for this year's Best Self-Produced CD Contest.

The following CDs have advance to the second round of the 2013 contest. Of note, like the IBC itself, the BSPCD appears to be going global as ten of the semi-finalists hail from outside of the United States. 2012 IBC first-place act The Wired! Band latest release also remains in the competition.

These will be pared to five finalists with the winner being announced on Saturday, February 2 at the Orpheum Theater during the 29th IBC finals.
