The Blues Music Awards, otherwise known as the Oscars of blues music, will be held on Thursday, May 5, 2011, in Memphis, Tenn. The 31st annual ceremony is scheduled to be presented at the Cook Convention Center, which looks like this:
And you could be here too! Individual tickets are $125.00. However, if you gather a blues fan club of 10 people, the group cost is $1200.00. Additional information, including travel and lodging, can be found at: http://www.blues.org/.
Even if you are not completely interested in the BMA Awards or even blues music, I encourage you to look at the official Blues Foundation website (http://www.blues.org/). The Blues Foundation has some great charitable organizations affiliated with it, like helping out music programs in schools so students can learn in a variety of ways related to music. You can gain membership into The Blues Foundation if interested, and learn ways to give back to musicians through healthcare and various other outlets.
Well written and informative. I'll wait for the next one to write more. I'm waiting to read a post that takes it to the next level...whatever that might be.
