Blues Music Awards

The Blues Music Awards (BMAs) are annual honors recognizing excellence in the blues genre, much like the Grammys but focused specifically on blues artists and music. Organized by the Blues Foundation, these awards celebrate talented musicians, singers, and industry contributors for their creativity, authentic sound, and contribution to blues heritage. Winners are selected through voting by blues fans, musicians, and industry professionals. The ceremony highlights the rich history and ongoing vitality of blues music, honoring both legendary figures and emerging artists for their artistic achievement and influence within the blues community.
