International Blues Challenge
January 31, 2023

Just want to say what a great experience the International Blues Challenge was! I was honored to advance to the Semifinals. The atmosphere of support and camaraderie was noticeably different (better) from other music conferences I have attended. A true love of the genre permeated the events and performances. And even though the centerpiece was the competition, musicians were friendly and  generous and inclusive. Bravo to The Blues Foundation for producing such an inspiring and energizing event. And Memphis...these people really know how to have a good time!

"So sick of 'best of women guitar players' lists-- Then they show gals with great cleavage and shredding guitars fast soulless noise… yay … yippee .. fast fingers ….Again .. if you have not heard me .. (you do now … )
Talent ranked on gender lists … imho is garbage in garbage out…
That being said. ..Elly was trained from early teen years by a NYC male star … testosterone on a stage but he was/ is good ..
And I have seen Elly on stages with testosterone shredder guys who couldn’t keep up with Elly’s prowess and wonderful improvisations .
Yup …. she was handed one of their electric snazzy geetar machines and on the cuff …flew …but with amazing craft that made music."
