WHERE IT’S AT (MONTREAL EDITION)

Here’s Where It’s At (Montreal Edition) live blues/roots for the week starting July 23 (and beyond) courtesy of Cha Cha Cha In Blue on CKUT 90.3FM:

The easiest way to get your gig on this list is if you create a Facebook event for it. That way it stays up until the date of the show and provides a link so fans can get details. If you make a single post or a graphic to announce it then I (and some of your fans) will probably miss it, especially if it’s a list of several shows. Also, I’m not going to transcribe your info.

Le moyen le plus simple d’avoir votre concert sur cette liste est si vous créez un événement Facebook pour cela. De cette façon, il reste à la date de l’émission et fournit un lien afin que les fans puissent obtenir des détails. Si vous faites un seul post ou un graphique pour l’annoncer, je le manquerai probablement (et certains de vos fans), surtout s’il s’agit d’une liste de plusieurs concerts. De plus, je ne vais pas transcrire vos informations.

Studio 88 Swing – Evolution Swing
Blues Dancing : Summer Classes
Hey everybody!
If you’d like to discover blues as a dance (because blues dancing is as old as the music genre itself), come take our summer classes at the Studio 88 Swing!
Sessions are comprised of 3 classes plus 1 assisted practice, over 4 weeks:
Struttin Blues – June 8th-29th : dance style from the 50s born in Memphis, traditionally danced on Delta blues of medium to fast tempo (think John Lee Hooker)
Piedmont Blues – July 6th-27th : Popular dance style from the early 1920s to 1970s, it comes from the Piedmont plateau, a large region from the US that extend from the East Coast to the Appalaches mountains. Danced on a variety of blues styles, from early acoustic delta blues to Chicago blues.
Texas Shuffle – August : This style was born in Texas, but is danced on a whole variety of Blues music genres, as long as you can hear a clear shuffle rhythm.
Register quickly! We only have limited places!

MONTREAL BLUES SOCIETY “QUEBEC TO MEMPHIS” CONTEST
The Montreal Blues Society is now accepting registrations for the Band category (three or more musicians) for the International Blues Challenge.
The 39th International Blues Challenge (IBC 2024) will be held January 16th through January 20th, 2024 in the Beale Street Historic District in Memphis. Acts sponsored by blues societies from around the world will vie for top spot at the largest gathering of blues musicians in the world.

The contest is open to all Quebec-based acts.
The registration period for the Band category is open from July 1st, 2023 UNTIL MIDNIGHT AUGUST 13TH, 2023. Requests to enter once the deadline has passed will be denied. The competition for the Band category will be held Tuesday, September 26th and Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023, in Montreal, at Bistro à JoJo, 1627 St-Denis. Time slots will be between 17:00 and 21:00. Acts must be available for the local competition date, and winners must be able to travel to the IBC in Memphis, January 16th through January 20th, 2024. If you can’t make these dates, please do not enter the competition.

Quebec acts have fared well in Memphis in the past, with semi-final appearances by Michael Jerome Browne, Dawn & Paul, and the Justin Saladino Band. The past editions have been particularly fruitful with finalist appearances three years in a row! A second-place finish by the Paul DesLauriers Band in 2016, then a first-place finish for Dawn Tyler Watson and The Ben Racine Band in 2017, Angel Forrest Band on stage with the 8 finalists in 2018 and best guitarist in the solo category for Adam Karch in 2023.

Winning is always nice but even if you don’t bring an award back home, the IBC event week is an experience, perfect for making contacts and connections as it offers seminars, showcases, master classes, film screenings, networking events, book signings, and receptions for blues societies, fans, and professionals.
Register now for the band category!
