Upcoming Blues Society Events
- Next regular MnBS Board Meeting, Thursday, April 11, 6:30 pm @ TBD
| The Minnesota Blues Society regrets to announce that we cannot hold Road to Memphis competitions this year due to a scarcity of entrants. We had only one band and one solo/duo entrant, so we are not able to hold the competitions that are required of an affiliate of the International Blues Foundation. Musicians must win a local affiliate competition to be eligible for International Blues Challenge 2020 in Memphis next January.
Steve Leutgeb Minnesota Blues Society President |
| We note with sadness the passing of musician Tucker Sterling Jensen on March 11, 2019 from lymphoma. For more details see the Star Tribune obituary. |
 |
| From now until September 30, 2019, the Minnesota Blues Society is accepting CD's produced by Minnesota acts for consideration for the Blues Foundation's "Best Self-Produced CD" Competition. Check it out: Best Self-Produced CD Competition |
