Cleveland Blues Society’s Blues Challenge Is Back

Sun 10/13 @ 1 pm

Each year, the Cleveland Blues Society sponsors Ohio blues artists to compete in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis.

It’s holding its 5th Annual Blues Challenge Competition this weekend to pick the artists it will send to Memphis in January. There are four categories: blues solo/duo act, blues group, youth showcase, and best blues CD. (The latter does not perform).

The entrants are chosen and now they’ll perform at Bohemian National Hall in Slavic Village for a panel of judges, who will chose the finalists.

It’s open to the public, so if you want to hear some area blues artists kicking out all he stops, come on down. Doors open a noon; bands will play 20-minute sets through 7:50 and winners will be announced at 8:30. To see the list of contestants, go here: http://blues145.com/memphischallenge2013.html

One of the competitors is Poppa D and the Aggravators (pictured) who will host the Blues Society’s month jam Mon 10/14 at 7:30pm the Red Hawk Grill in Painesville.

Tickets are $15.
