The Cascade Blues Association, the largest in the nation, held their annual Muddy Waters Awards in Portland OR on the evening of Nov 1st, 2012. Lisa Mann and Her Really Good Band were nominated for four awards, and walked away with Female Vocalist of the Year, Bass Player of the Year, and Contemporary Blues Act of the Year. Her CD “Satisfied” was also nominated for Northwest Recording of the Year, but that prize was garnered by Curtis Salgado’s “Soul Shot.”
