Ganadores/Winners 31 Blues Music Awards

Joe Louis Walker: Album of the Year - Between a Rock and the Blues

Lista de los ganadores de los premios Blues Music Awards en su edición número 31 celebrada el pasado 6 de Mayo.

Here are the winners. We will tell you the rest of the story soon, but we stayed up kind of late last night. Long after the Awards were over, the lobby of both the Cook Convention Center and the Memphis Marriott Downtown looked like the party was just getting started. The buzz, the vibe the night of good feelings. Congratulations to all winners, all nominees, all the stellar performers and to Buddy and Bonnie for making it even more special!!
