The International Blues Challenge (IBC) represents a worldwide search for the Blues Band and Solo/Duo Blues Acts ready to perform on the international stage, yet just needing that extra big break. Each Affiliate of The Blues Foundation has the right to send a band and a solo/duo act to represent its organization at the IBC. The St. Louis Blues Society holds its local preliminary IBC competition, The Road to Memphis, each year.
$20 day of event, $15 for current Blues Society members (bring your card or join day of event)
The Blues Foundation IBC #41 takes place January 13-17, 2026 in Memphis TN
