International Blues Challenge 2018 Regional Competition
"The South Florida Blues Challenge"
8/13/18
Not Participating
"Regrettably, our board of directors has cancelled our upcoming South Florida Blues Challenge that was to be held this coming Sunday, August 19th at Galuppi's in Pompano Beach. Unfortunately we did not have enough bands or solo/duo acts committed to enter this year to make it a viable competition. This is the first time since our inception in 2002, that we will not be sending a band or solo/duo act to Memphis, for inclusion in the International Blues Challenge. It wasn't too long ago, that we had too many acts requesting to enter, that we had to turn people down.
Over the coming months we will examine what steps we have to take make our Blues Challenge more appealing to our local musicians, encouraging them to enter the competition next year. We hope after possibly revamping our approach and making some changes, we can attract and encourage more acts next year to resume the Blues Challenge, and once again be able to send an act or acts to the IBC."Bob "Bluesbobby" Weinberg
