• STLBlues is just in from the Budweiser Illinois Blues Fest, where we were honored to be a judge for 'The Road To Memphis', a blues challenge held by the River City Blues Society and Jay Goldberg - producer of the Illinois Blues Fest! It was a tough contest to judge, with 15 year old Matthew Curry's incredible guitar skills narrowly edging out the sheer vocal power of the Lizzi Neal band. He'll do well next February competing on the world stage known as the International Blues Challenge! Check out our photo gallery on Facebook!
