Winners of the Northeast Blues Society's 2008 "Colossal Contender" performance competition, Blues Sanctuary has been wowing audiences with their infectious Chicago style blues since 2003. As this year's "CC" winners, Blues Sanctuary will represent the Northeast Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis TN on February 4th, 2009 . The "IBC" is the largest gathering of blues bands in the world, drawing the best in blues from the four corners of the globe. Bands from Memphis to Australia, from Paris to London, from New York to LA and everywhere in between will meet on Beale Street for three exciting days of competition, jams, jive, drinks and who knows what else! Featuring the classic blues voice and harp of Rick Burgess, the stunning keyboards of Joe Candal and Greg Bird playing the "perfect blues axe" (a '67 ES-335). Adding the vocals of bass virtuoso Bruce Mariani and veteran drummer and blues aficionado Ken Pallman, Blues Sanctuary serves up a delectable menu of classic and modern blues. Loved by their audiences and respected by their peers, Blues Sanctuary does live blues right....LIVE AND BLUES!

The blues is alive in V-T! You guys sound great, man. Having played with Bruce and been a friend of his these many years, it is incredible to hear him in his element - doing what he does best...playing his bass and singin' the blues! Keep writing and playing, Blues Sanctuary! You're my new favorite. See you at the "Garlic Festival" and good luck in Memphis!
