A Night to Honor the Blues: The 2026 Muddy Awards
The Annual Muddy Awards are one of the region’s premier blues celebrations, lighting up the night with live performances from past winners and nominees, Hall of Fame inductions, heartfelt tributes, and a moving remembrance of cherished community members lost during the year. Presented by the Cascade Blues Association (CBA), this beloved tradition honors outstanding achievements across the Pacific Northwest blues community, from southern Washington through the Portland metro area and down to Central Oregon.
Named for legendary blues icon Muddy Waters, the Muddy Awards celebrate the musicians, venues, festivals, and rising stars who keep the region’s blues scene alive and thriving. Entirely membership-driven, CBA members guide the nomination and voting process across more than 23 award categories, including Best Band, Best Venue, Best Festival, Traditional Blues Act, and Contemporary Blues Act.
General Admission tickets will be available, along with a limited number of VIP experience tickets - featuring premium seating, dinner, a signed event poster, and special gifts - because a night this good deserves a little extra shine.
