Carla Jordan on Fb, 8/28/16: Just curious and wondering about the blues community of Colorado. How many other states have multiple blues societies AND are sending more than one act from their state to Memphis to compete in the IBC 2017? I could look it up on the Blues Foundation website, and I may.
However, my point (I do have one here), is that Colorado is AWESOME in the fact that our fine state has numerous blues societies and 3 of them (so far) have held competitions and are sending phenomenal talent to represent Colorado in the International Blues Challenge in 2017. Wow! Memphis will likely not be the same after the Colorado invasion in January-February 2017. This is going to be the blues event to attend! This is something to be very proud of, in my humble opinion, not because I own a blues bar, but because the support for these fine musicians within our community is simply amazing! The blues is alive and very well – don’t let anyone tell you differently!
We love you guys and wish you all the absolute best in Memphis. I better start resting up now for the Memphis trip because ohhhhhhhhh, this is going to be some serious fun, fun, fun!
Congratulations and look out Beale Street, they’re coming and bringing their “A” game! Deep Pocket Thieves – MHBS Band and Alex Maryol Solo, John Weeks Band – CBS Band and AJ Fullerton Solo, Eef & The Blues Express – PPBC Band and Plastic Mojo duo. I tagged everyone I could remember from each act who is on book of faces / and ‘friends’.
