About the Blues Music Awards
Each May in Memphis, The Blues Foundation presents the Blues Music Awards in 25 categories to the artists selected by its members. The Blues Music Awards are universally recognized as the highest accolade afforded musicians and songwriters in Blues music. Close to 100 nominees attend the live show which features the presentation of awards and a night full of nominee performances. The annual Blues Music Awards ceremony is the premier event for Blues professionals, musicians, and fans from all over the world. The focus of this celebration is to recognize superior achievements in Blues performance, songwriting, and recording while honoring a rich cultural tradition. The night is filled performances in a cabaret/dinner setting in the Convention Center’s ballroom. It is broadcast live in their entirety on Sirius XM’s B.B. King’s Bluesville and edited versions are available across America on noncommercial television stations and on CD/DVD.
