Don Johnson Project

For the second year in a row the Don Johnson Project will be competing in the International Blues Challenge (IBC). The IBC features blues bands from all over the world competing to be top dog in the world of blues. Regional competitions are held and for the second year in a row the Don Johnson Project is representing The Blues Society of Central Pennsylvania in Memphis TN after winning the local competition. Part of the judging criteria is their press package including their press photo. Before meeting them I quickly scouted out a location across from the Stock's on Second where they were playing last night. This was a small vacant lot that had just the right raw feel for a blues act. The competition in Memphis will be Feb 4 - 7, 2009, so I wish them luck and hope they will be strutting down Beale Street with their gold guitar picks (or whatever is awarded to the first place band).
