The Blues Foundation held their huge annual Blues Music Awards in Memphis, Tennessee, and member voting revealed a great list of worthy winners at this year’s event. As always, there were live performances that couldn’t be seen anywhere else. The entire event was broadcast live on Sirius-XM Radio’s B.B. King’s Bluesville channel. Check out the complete list below and Don’t Miss Episode 1318 of Full-Time Blues Radio, when we’ll play music from the winners!

Big winners at this year’s event included Tedeschi Trucks Band, who took home three trophies, including the Gibson Guitar Award for best guitar player, which went to Derek Trucks. The late Michael Burks led the way for posthumous honors, winning both Album of the Year and Contemporary Blues Album of the Year.

But, Curtis Salgado was the night’s biggest honoree. Salgado, who has been battling cancer for some time now, and actually had to come off the road for a bit, won the night’s biggest proze – B.B. King Entertainer of the Year, as well as Soul Blues Male Artist and Soul Blues Album of the Year!

Someone once commented that Kelly Richey sounds like “Stevie Ray Vaughan trapped in a woman’s body with Janis Joplin screaming to get out.” Over the course of 14 albums, decades of touring, and amazing live shows, that description has gone from a compliment to almost a calling card. Kelly Richey possesses the same skill, charisma, and determination those two legendary artists once held.

Kelly sat down with Johnny Full-Time for conversation and music from several of her albums. The pair discussed Kelly’s brand new CD, Sweet Spirit, new band members Freekbass and Jyn Yates, Richey’s brief hiatus from music in 2010, and much, much more! Listen to the show at the link above.

Eric Clapton’s Crossroads 2013!

Crossroads is Back!

Eric Clapton has announced his Spring 2013 US Tour dates, with the tour winding down in a big way – at New York City’s Madison Square Garden for Crossroads Guitar Festival 2013! This will be the fourth Crossroads festival and it marks the first time since 2004 that the event will be held over the course of more than one day.

The Crossroads Guitar Festival began in 2004, and the first event was held in Dallas, Texas. The festival was designed to gather Eric Clapton’s friends and the greatest guitar players of all genres in an effort to hold a huge concert raising funds for Clapton’s Crossroads Antigua Treatment Center. The event was originally considered a one-off blowout, but the response was so overwhelming that the event was held again in 2007. The 2007 Crossroads festival was held outside of Chicago, and was shortened to one day. Clapton said at the event he considered it being the last one, but thought they would probably do it again. Three years later, at the same venue, they did.

In 2013, Eric Clapton will assemble the top guitarists in the world once again, this time for a two-night extravaganza on April 12 & 13. Past performers like B.B. King, Buddy Guy and Robert Cray will keep their streak of consecutive Crossroads concerts in tact, and past favorites like Jeff Beck and Gary Clark Jr. will return. In addition, there will be a few new faces, including Country music superstars Brad Paisley and Keith Urban.

General public on-sale for tickets to Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival 2013 begin November 30, 2012 at Noon EST. Complete festival information is available at CrossroadsGuitarFestival.com
