The Mike Crandall Band will head to Memphis in January as the Boston Blues Society's representative at the International Blues Challenge. The band, featuring 16-year-old drummer Danny Banks, won the finals of the Boston challenge before a packed house Sunday night at Johnny D's, competing against Mr. Nick and the Dirty Tricks, The Mighty Houserockers, and 2120 S. Michigan Ave., featuring Sweet Willie D.
It was a tight competition, with the four bands previously taking the top two places in each semi-final.
Stay tuned for more information about fundraisers to cover the band's expenses at Memphis.
The Boston Blues Society is also sponsoring Bruce Marshall as a solo act at the IBC, and there will be a fundraiser for him as well.
