Make plans to be at this ALL AGES event to help cheer on your favorite local blues band!
A $10 cover charge helps us support the bands and helps us to send one band to MEMPHIS in 2011!
Come out and support local musicians!
Doors will open at 4:30, first band starts at 5:00 SHARP! 
Each band will perform for 25 minutes, and we will have 10 minutes between each band...get there early so you don't miss a single note!!

Tickets available at the door


A panel of qualified judges will select the top 3 bands.  The #1 band will go to Memphis in 2011 to represent the Grafton Blues Association and  compete in the International Blues Challenge!  This is a great opportunity for a local band!  Former winners of the IBC include: Michael Burks, Tommy Castro, Albert Cummings, Delta Moon, Zac Harmon, Susan Tedeschi, Watermelon Slim.....and MORE!
