...for the International Blues Challenge. I think the competition runs Thursday thru Saturday. Bands are supposed to be coming from Canada, Europe and even Australia. I'm headed there tomorrow. Should be one big party.

I was there in 2004 and 2005. Great entertainment.

The competition is a little hokey, not sure what criteria is for what... but it's a great show. After the competition acts, just spend the rest of the night up'n down Beal Street. Great music EVERYWHERE...

This will be my 1st time at the IBC. I'm hoping to check out all kind of great music. When I buy music I hear on the radio or Pandora, I purchase it from Itunes or Amazon. But when I see great live bands (like I hope to see over the next 3 days), I always try to buy their CD's.
