SPECIAL THANKS to KATI INGINO of SISTAH BLUE
for her partnership and support at the 16th Annual
International Blues Challenge and for her wonderful
written account of the event !!! (Link coming soon!!)

The IBC in MEMPHIS was a great experience.......
rubbing elbows with recording industry and media
reps, meeting and hearing some great bands from across
the world and meeting some great folks associated from
the many wonderful blues clubs and associations supporting their bands !!

While COLD SHOTT did not win the big prize, we did make great connections that will
lead to our performances at many festivals and  other large venues. People all around the
event were buzzing about our band !!  It was a privilege and an honor representing Arizona
in the IBC this year and we look forward to a busy and exciting Year 2000!!!
