01/06/14 International Blues Challenge Preview Show 1

First show of 2014 and the first of two IBC Preview shows this year, before the main event begins on January 21st with our first live show from Beale at 7pm, and then at 8pm we begin simulcasting the first two hours of the Tas Cru Jam for Generation Blues from the Rum Boogie Cafe.

On this night we welcomed in:
2013 IBC Band Winner, Selwyn Birchwood
2008 Solo/Duo Winner & 2011 Band Winner, Lionel Young and
Tas Cru, who leads the opening night Jam for the IBC each year.



If you are coming to Memphis for the IBC this year, thinking about trying to come in future years, or just love the event and want to know more, these three interviews will give you some insights.

Also, at the top of the show, 'Couch Kid' - and 2014 Blues Music Award Nominee for Best Debut Artist, Gracie Curran called in to talk about her tour which is bringing her to Nashville before she hits Memphis to appear at the Vizztone Showcases and to meet and greet.

And, as it is the first Monday of the month, as well as the year, Chefjimi Patricola came by with his monthly Blues411 Report.
