Ladies and gentlemen…Fuzzy and the Blues Band (Lenny Rankins) will be representing San Diego at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in January 2018…woohoo! Thanks again to all the bands who competed this year: Give Me Back My Wig, Jon Campos & the Incurables, Anthony Cullins, Mike Maldonado JumpStart, John January & Linda Berry, and the Baja Blues Boys! Huge thanks to our judges, Eli J. Medellin and Mark Eppler from Boogie Magazine, Brian Tierney from Backstage 360, Claudia Russell from KSDS, Al Schneider from The Chris Fast Band, Ric Lee from the Bayou Brothers, and blues legend Ronnie Lane for making those tough decisions. Hugs to our volunteers Nancy Tiger, Barbara Kabes, Janet Blair and John Ptack, without whom none of this could have happened. Special thanks to RosaLea Schiavone and Tio Leo’s Lounge for the use of the venue. See you all at Tio Leo’s on January 13 from 1-4 for the IBC Send-Off Party!
