International Blues Challenge

Quite an experience...

Winning in Montreal already generates an incredible feeling, and the excitement builds as you prepare for the trip…

Meeting and getting to know all these musicians, all driven by the same thrill of being at the IBC - you suddenly realize you’re surrounded by winners from every Blues Society, each representing their province, state, or country… winners from all over the world.

Crossing paths with major Blues festival organizers, producers, record label directors, and legendary Blues artists - it’s quite something to find yourself among them, staying in the same hotel, getting the chance to talk to them, to introduce yourself.

By sharing our journey and our days on social media, you can feel the support and pride from Quebecers - the people who follow us, who love us - it's a real shot of adrenaline.

Truly an incredible feeling to experience all of this, and to be so well surrounded.

It was an honour for us to represent the Montreal Blues Society and our beautiful province. Thank you all for your support.

One of the greatest pieces of advice we received while there:
“Believe in yourself, in your music and everything is possible!”

P.S. Don’t forget Gus’s Fried Chicken!!! ;)
