David Dunavent and the Evol Love Band from Sumner took 2nd Place. The competition was Sunday, October 16th at da’ House of Khafre. Eight bands from across the State came to compete.
“This was the best talent top to bottom of any local challenge I’ve ever seen. Every act was one I would feel comfortable seeing for a four-hour club date. The challenge was run at least as well as any venue at the International Blues Challenge finals,” said judge Ricky Stevens, chairman of the Blues Foundation’s IBC committee.
Judges for the band competition were Tricia Walker, Jesse Robinson, Shelley Ritter, and Ricky Stevens.
