Derek Trucks, DTB Honored at Blues Music Awards
05.06.11
Last night in Memphis, Derek and Susan attended the Blues Music Awards, an annual awards show organized by the Blues Foundation. We're thrilled to report that Derek Trucks took home the award for "Band of the Year" (for his work in The Derek Trucks Band). For the second straight year, Derek claimed the award for "Best Instrumentalist - Guitar." Other winners on the evening included Buddy Guy, John Hammond, Solomon Burke, Dr. John, Ruthie Foster, Irma Thomas and many more great artists. Congratulations to Derek Trucks, Todd Smallie, Yonrico Scott, Kofi Burbridge, Mike Mattison and Count M'Butu on being honored yet again for their work in The Derek Trucks Band, and thanks to the Blues Foundation for a great evening, and for all the work they do to preserve and celebrate blues music!

A Night To Remember!
I'm a VERY avid fan of Blues Music. And was very happy to see/hear that Derek Trucks took home band of the year. They are truly amazing and I don't doubt that they will win it again for next year. I also want to give another congratulations to everybody else who took home an award. I'm a HUGE fan of the Blues Foundation and I look forward to the even next year.
