The BMAs are produced by the Blues Foundation and can be termed as the Grammys for the Blues performers and fans. It is held annually in Memphis where the best blues show of the year can be seen. Imagine all the performers you hear on CDs, over the radio airwaves, or from the Sirrus/XM satellites in one place. This was our first time there and it was more than friends have described. The show, including the warm up by the nominees for Best New Artist Debut, lasted almost nine hours -- just fantastic!
We hope you enjoy this photographic journey through the event.

Excellent photos! One editorial note: It should be Gaye Adegbalola, not Gayle.
