Hy C and Fresh Start bring back the gold!

In 2019, STLBlues was at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis TN when Hy C and Fresh Start absolutely blew the roof off the room at the finals of the International Blues Challenge.

It was the first time St. Louis has won this event, and this band did so, in style. They had the look and sound befitting a world class performance, and the song that won it for them was ‘Memphis, Here I Come’ – it brought the entire crowd to their feet!!

Give a listen to ‘Memphis, Here I Come’ right here on the St. Louis Blues Society website
