We just got back from Memphis after volunteering at the 2008 IBC.  What a time we had!  The bands were unbelievable and we are looking forward to adding some more Wisconsin talent to that competition! 

A panel of qualified judges will select the top 3 bands.  The #1 band will go to Memphis on February 4 - 7 2009 to represent the Grafton Blues Association and  compete in the International Blues Challenge!  This is a great opportunity for a local band!  Former winners include: Michael Burks, Tommy Castro, Albert Cummings, Delta Moon, Zac Harmon, Susan Tedeschi, Watermelon Slim.....and MORE!
