International Blues Challenge Finals at the Orpheum, Memphis

Winter can slow things down in downtown Memphis, as it gets really cold here in January and February. February, however, brings the International Blues Challenge, a week of competition amongst young blues artists that takes over downtown Memphis for the first week of the month. Saturday, February 2, 2013 was the final day of this year’s IBC, and blues artists from all over the world assembled at the Orpheum theatre on Main Street for the final day of competition. IBC attendees also roamed all over Beale Street and downtown, and the week sadly represents one of the few times of the year when authentic blues can be heard on Beale Street.
