If you’re a Cascade Blues Association member, watch your mail for the final Muddy Awards ballot which will be mailed in late September. The final ballot is based on the first round, completed September 15th. The final ballots will be due by October 15th. Remember, take the time to select who you feel are the most deserving artists, venues, events and recordings that you’ve witnessed during the time period September 1st, 2008 to August 31st, 2009.
If you're not a Cascade Blues Association member and want to vote for the Muddy Awards, join the CBA and you can vote next year. This is a great way to support your favorite blues artists, and the annual awards show is a fantastic event, too. Check out 2007 and 2008 videos to find out for yourself.
