Blues Society of Western PA - Newsletter

October is upon us. This year it brings the International Blues Challenge (IBC) into town.

The judges will have quite a task on their hands! Some of the finest acts ever to grace the stage in the tri-state area will be lined up for the showdown!

90% of these bands are national quality acts that just haven’t broken through into the national scene yet.

The IBC competition is designed to give them exactly that opportunity.

I truly believe that all of them deserve to win.
However, only one Band and one Solo / Duo act will rise to the occasion and champion this region, as they find fame and glory competing against an international field of their peers in Memphis, Tennessee.
