REVIEW: Blues Blast Music Awards 2009
It was a star-filled night with outstanding performances
from soul survivors, vibrant veterans and
next-generation blues heroes. It also was filled with
tearful, touching and triumphant moments. We have
coverage and photos of the entire awards ceremony. |
REVIEW: John Nemeth at Buddy Guy's Legends,
Chicago.
It only happens about every other decade -- a fresh
young talent whose star power can't be denied comes
along to take the blues by storm. John Nemeth has got
what it takes to reach a major audience. Buddy Guy, who
sat in, would agree. |
