14 Days Until the 2026 Muddy Awards!

In just two weeks, the blues community will gather for one of the most anticipated nights of the year—the Cascade Blues Association Muddy Awards.

Behind the scenes, the final pieces are falling into place. The performance lineup is set, musicians are confirmed and the awards are being made. Months of planning are coming together as the countdown begins.

There’s always a special kind of energy in the final weeks before the Muddy Awards. Schedules are finalized, scripts are polished, and the excitement builds as performers and presenters prepare to take the stage.

Each year, the Muddy Awards bring together outstanding musicians, venues, festivals, and supporters from across the region. The evening features live performances by Muddy Hall of Fame artists Alan Hager, Kevin Selfe, Lisa Mann, Terry Robb, Lloyd Jones. IBC Competitors Lilla and Nikki Jones Band, Muddy Award Winners Johnny Wheels and the Swamp Donkeys, Ben Rice & The PDX Hustle and Taylor Newville & the Riders, Hall of Fame inductions, heartfelt tributes, and a special moment to remember members of our community who we lost during the past year.

More than anything, the Muddy Awards are about community—celebrating the artists, the music, and the people who keep the blues alive throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Join us on March 22 for an unforgettable night of music, celebration, and connection.
