2011-12 Finals
JSJBF International Blues Challenge ~ Bands Selected!
JSJBF IBC challenge: Sunday, September 25th 2011 ~ 2 pm ~ $15
Paul's Tavern ~ 1705 Main Street, Lake Como, NJ. ~ Map 
The doors will open for the public at 2:00pm. Bands can start arriving at 1:30 pm. The first band will go on at 2:30pm. The bands will do 25 minute sets; The Solo/Duo's 20 minute sets. There will be 10 minutes in between each set. All just like in Memphis.
On September 25th, JSJBF will conduct our play-off to select the blues band, solo/duo, and original CD who will represent us at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. The audition committee has selected the participating bands, and there will be six hours of music on each of the competition nights (not bad for fifteen bucks,eh?).
The charge at the door for the competition will be $15 per person. Only band members and the judges are exempt. Wives, significant others, kids etc will all have to pay to get in.
Come on out to Paul's and listen to the best JSJBF Blues has to offer!
