The Wired BandThe WIRED! band has won the hugely prestigious International Blues Challenge this weekend, beating out over one hundred other acts representing nearly every state and over sixteen countries. The band won a huge prize package, including nearly a dozen headlining positions in prominent blues festivals across the country.

WIRED! represented the Washington Blues Society in the challenge.

Starting mid-last week, 110 bands and over 80 solo/duo acts from sixteen countries and forty states entered the four day long competition, sponsored by The Blues Foundation, a Memphis-based non-for-profit that is dedicated to preserving our blues music history, celebrating recording and performance excellence, supporting blues education and ensuring the future of the uniquely American art form that is the blues.
