WISHING A HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS to Devin Williams and The Rum Drum Ramblers — Mat Wilson, Ryan Koenig and Joe Glynn (not pictured) for advancing to the IBC Championship in Memphis next year 
!!
Great job guys!!
The event was bound to be close and it took awhile for the judges to bring forth their decision. The rest of the performances were equally fantastic. The talent was VERY STRONG across the board — I mean we got to enjoy a full day of great blues!!
Everyone who performed was spot on, and the assortment of different styles truly shined. Whether it was the STL styled soul blues of Al Holliday and Eve Rigby, the Chicago blues drive of Cole Allen’s Coldwater Creek Band, the gospel inspired vocals of Herrie Pullom with Jason David Cooper’s Catapult, or the witty song originality of Marty Spikener’s On Call Band, any one of these performers could have repped STL proud next year. Personal thanks from here !!
And thank you for making me shake in my shoes to explain The Greenwood Cemetery, St. Louis, MO CD project
