Upcoming Blues Society Events
- Next regular MnBS Board Meeting, Thursday, May 9, location TBD.

The Minnesota Blues Society is pleased to announce that we will be holding a Road To Memphis competition in 2019. We had many positive responses from our community and we are confident that when we reopen the application period in May, we will get enough entries to hold a competition on June 30. Please see www.mnbs.org for details. The application period will be open during the entire month of May. Solo/duo acts and bands may enter if they meet the Minnesota Blues Society requirements. |
