The Blues Foundation announced their annual Blues Music Awards (formerly the W.C. Handy Awards) for 2006 and, once again, Rosebud artists were well represented. Charlie Musselwhite picked up the award for Best Instrumentalist-Harmonica for the 13th time in his career, bringing his total Blues Foundation awards to 19. The awards ceremony also featured Blues Music Award nominee and Rosebud artist Tommy Castro (who will be at Sequoia Brewing this Sat. evening). The Blues Music Awards are the highest honor in the blues world, an event often touted as the Grammys of the Blues.
