"Delta Flyer” Nominated for Best Blues Album by The 2009 Just Plain Folks Music Awards

[mlandrum]

The Delta Flyers are heading back to Tennessee one more time. The boys have represented the Houston Blues Society in both 2008 and 2009 at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. They have also played shows in Nashville in 2008 and in Memphis in May of this year. They will be in Nashville once again in August as Stevie DuPree’s 2007 solo release, “Delta Flyer”, has been nominated for Best Blues Album by the 2009 Just Plain Folks Music Awards.

After receiving a record setting 42,000 albums and over a half million songs from 163 countries around the world, the organization's staff and team of volunteers filtered the music down to both song and album nominees in 95 genres of music. This years nominees come from over 80 different countries around the world.

The organization spent 14 months from the initial entry date to screen all the music and narrow down the field. JPF uses a unique mix of judges that come from the music industry, fellow artist and songwriter peers and music fans. "We feel that those groups mixed together make for a balanced and compelling process which identifies a lot of music that any one group might miss."

The 2009 Just Plain Folks Music Awards show will take place in Nashville, TN on August 29th, 2009 at the Wildhorse Saloon. Winners will be announced live at the show and then posted on the website the next day. For a complete listing of this year's nominees and more information, please visit www.justplainfolks.org.
