Ozark Blues Society
2023 Blues Challenge
WINNER ANNOUNCED!
Congratulations go out to the
Chad Marshall Band, winners of our 2023 Blues Challenge!



Their bio shares:
"This true ‘power trio’ are skilled stewards for the spirit of blues legends. They refer to it as ‘conjuring’, and invite guests to
“come feel the music.” Chad is
an Arkansas Electric Delta Blues guitar artist mentored by Arkansas Delta Blues Master ‘Saint Thomas’ Jenkins. The Chad Marshall Band's music is a fusion of deep Delta Blues, modern Rock N Roll and a touch
of Southern Soul. This regional touring group of experienced musicians, with Carl Bass on drums and C Roscoe Willis on bass is guaranteed to deliver an authentic, memorable show. Look for ‘Made to Suffer’ release in November 2023."
