Blues Singer of the Year: Me!
Friends,
Around mid-December, I asked you to vote for us in the 2006 Blues Critic Awards for Contemporary Blues, and I guess many of you--and several other people--did vote for me. I learned yesterday, to my great astonishment, that I won the award for "Blues Singer - Male." The award winners are listed here, and sure enough, there I am. To even be mentioned in the same company as Jackie Payne, Frankie Lee, Preston Shannon, Robert Cray, Eddie Kirkland, and Willie Walker is a great honor. Thanks to all of you for your unending and generous support.
In other BP Band news, we're working hard to put together a great schedule of gigs this year, and we have a lot of possibilities that we're just in the process of wrapping up, including a return date at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA, now confirmed for Friday, March 9. Confirmed dates also include the 17th Annual Berks Jazz Festival in Reading, PA on March 24, the 13th Annual Pittsburgh Blues Festival on July 20, and the 32nd World Convention of Narcotics Anonymous in San Antonio, TX on August 30. Please check our Web site from time to time as we continue to add new dates.
Thanks again for staying tuned in to us, and I hope to see all of you sometime in 2007.
Soulfully yours,
Billy Price
