A Message from the President

Summer doldrums – not here! 
Slow season – not for us! 
 

While the summer months are often a time to slow down and kick back, that certainly isn’t the case at The Blues Foundation. We are busier than ever.

Our doors are open and company is coming!  We’ve turned on the lights, turned up the speakers, and put out the welcome mat to welcome both die-hard blues fans and casual visitors to the Blues Hall of Fame. We are thrilled to show off our new acquisitions, including Matt “Guitar” Murphy’s gold guitar and Billy Branch’s hand-painted performance jacket, as more and more visitors make the Blues Hall of Fame their destination.

2022 is fast approaching and we are in count-down mode as we prepare for both the International Blues Challenge and the Blues Music Awards. Mark your calendars for January 18 – 22 and pack your bags for Memphis to be part of the 37th IBC, the world’s largest blues competition. We will meet you on Beale Street.

It seems that we just announced the 2021 Blues Music Awards winners and we are already accepting submissions for the 43rd Blues Music Awards. The party is scheduled for May 5, 2022, and we are eager to greet you in person with hugs and handshakes.

The blues never stops and neither does The Blues Foundation. We are proud to work on behalf of all of our members, partners, and sponsors to make sure the music we love continues to thrive.

Sincerely,

Patty Wilson Aden
President & CEO
