The 41st International Blues Challenge is set for Jan. 13-17, 2026, in Memphis. Before then, the Triangle Blues Society will hold a stand-alone benefit event to help fund the trip for our Triangle Blues Challenge winners, MAMA and Charlley Ward/Joel Keel. The Road to Memphis fundraiser will be held on Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026. You can help! We’re looking for silent auction items to help raise funds. Contact Terri Robbins at datapros1@gmail.com if you would like to donate a gift card, service or other items.
