2008 International Blues Challenge

Jennifer Marriott and Odd Sheep Out are heading to Memphis and the 24th Annual International Blues Challenge !

The IBC has evolved into the nation's biggest and most respected showcase for Blues musicians ready to take their act to the national stage.

The IBC is a judged “Battle of the Bands” in which competitors take the stage and play a short set for a panel of judges. The acts are judged based on an established set of criteria.

The IBC represents an international search by The Blues Foundation and its Affiliated Organizations (mostly blues societies) for the Blues Band and Solo/Duo Blues Act ready to perform on a national stage, but just need that extra break. Each Affiliate of The Blues Foundation has the right to send a band and solo/duo act to represent the organization at the IBC Semi-Finals on Beale Street in Memphis, TN .

The Blues Organization that selected and is sponsoring Jennifer and Odd Sheep Out is the F.O.R. Blues (Friends of Rentiesville Blues) Society located in Rentiesville, OK. If you haven't been out to the Dusk 'til Dawn Blues Festival every year then you are missing out! We met so many great people and heard some of the best blues out there yet again this year. Playing on the inside stage this year was a blast! Thanks goes out to Selby, DC and the entire crew at the festival for making us feel so welcome and for selecting us to represent them.

Be sure to check out the IBC website for details on the biggest blues weekend in the world, where to get tickets, hotel accommodations.
