Cincy Blues Challenge Winners Announced


Blues Fest Presented By

Congratulations to the winners of the 11th annual Cincy Blues Challenge!  Cheryl Renee and Them Bones came out on top in the Band division and Ricky Nye was number one in the Solo/Duo category.  Both have won our competition before and we wish them the best of luck in Memphis. 

Other top finishers - Johnny Fink & the Intrusion took 2nd and IIJuicy placed third in the Bands.  Rooster Forbes was second in the Solo/Duo's.

We don't announce the standings other than these, but the artists will be notified of their scores, placements and any judges comments in the next couple of weeks.

It was a great day of blues.  The judges noted that this was by far, the best group of talent they had seen at a Challenge and I don't see how anyone would argue with that.  The winners will all be presented with their plaques at the 17th annual Cincy Blues Fest, August 7th & 8th at Sawyer Point.

Solo/Duo Winner Ricky Nye and Cincy Blues President Midge Fatheree
Band Winner Cheryl Renee and Them Bones
