    The Edmonton Blues Society (EBS) is pleased to announce this kickoff fundraiser
    and silent auction to sponsor a local blues band to represent Edmonton and EBS in
    the 2012 International Blues Challenge held in Memphis, Tennessee USA.

    A veteran entertainer, Canadian blues icon and Juno Award winner, James’ talents as a
    guitarist, vocalist, band leader, and songwriter have allowed him to produce the music he
    loves for over three decades. Paul James has worked alongside many of the finest
    players, including Mink De Ville, Bo Diddley, Bob Dylan, John Hammond, Spencer Davis,
    Lightnin' Hopkins, Jack Scott and Sunnyland Slim, to mention a few. Paul is also the
    recipient of Toronto Music awards for Best Club Band and Best Blues Artist.
