Support the Journey!

The Cascade Blues Association is gearing up for our annual Journey to Memphis Fundraisers— and you’re invited to join the celebration! These event helps send our 2025 winners, Lilla (Solo/Duo) and The Nikki Jones Band (Band) to the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee this January.

Expect an afternoon packed with:

• Live performances – usually featuring both of our winners and other special guests
• Raffles & silent auctions – your chance to snag incredible prizes while supporting the cause
• Community, connection, and great blues – because every note brings us closer to Memphis

Your ticket, raffle, and auction purchases directly help cover travel expenses for our competitors. That means you’re not just enjoying a fantastic day of live music—you’re helping keep the blues alive on an international stage.

• Make a financial contribution now,  follow this link.
• If you would like to donate a gift card or item for the Journey to Memphis Fundraiser events, please send an email to cbastaff@cascadeblues.org, our volunteers will reach out soon.

Thank you for following the Journey to Memphis!

Together, we’re preserving the past, supporting the present, and building the future of the blues—one note at a time.
