About the Blues Blast Music Awards….

In 2008, a group of Blues music industry professionals including music critics, journalists, festival promoters, music venue managers, producers, musicians and other Blues music industry folks got together to create a new independent way to recognize the best in Blues music. The result was the first Blues Blast Music Awards.

All Blues musicians including independent artists and labels can submit their music directly to our nominators for consideration resulting in a recognition series that includes a wide array of independent artists and labels.

The process results in two forms of recognition for the artists. First the nominators select their “best of” choices so ALL of the nominees are winners because they have in effect won “the critic’s award” by being nominated.

Then fans vote for their choices. The results are the largest awards series where Blues fans vote for the Best in contemporary Blues music giving the artists with the most votes a “people’s choice” award!

The Blues Blast Music Awards are presented by Blues Blast Magazine.
