STLBlues
is a KBA Recipient
|
2008
KBA RECIPIENT - INTERNET
STLBlues was awarded the Keeping the Blues Alive Award
- Internet, by the Blues Foundation in Memphis,
Tn. 20 other organizations from around the world were also honored
in as part of the 2008 IBC/KBA weekend. This award is a culmination
of years dedicated to promoting music online.
What probably helped us earn this honor is the Interactive
Gig Calendar, the power tool we built for live music promotion,
and offer FREE to bands worldwide. Built for musicians and music
events, please share it with YOUR live music scene!
---------------------------------------------------
The Keeping the Blues Alive Awards recognize the significant
contributions to Blues music made by the people behind the scenes.
Each is selected on the basis of merit by a select panel of Blues
professionals.

KBA
Chairman Art Tipaldi notes with respect to this year’s recipients,
“The committee is once again impressed with the quality
of the selected recipients - the outstanding men, women, and organizations
that have evidenced a longstanding commitment to the Blues genre".
In recent years, The Blues
Foundation has increasingly recognized the global reach of this
indigenous Afro-American art form and the 2008 honorees certainly
reflect this awareness, with recipients hailing from Canada, France,
and Sweden, in addition to the United States.
