About the Blues Music Awards:
The 2007 show will follow the format of the sold-out and critically acclaimed shows of recent years which featured appearances and performances by more than 40 nominees in a dinner table setting in the Convention Center's new ballroom. Attendees are treated to a sit down dinner seated with the nominees and will enjoy unique artist performances and pairings only seen at the Blues Music Awards.

As always, a pre-party will immediately precede the Awards and feature the 2007 International Blues Challenge winners.
