SBF awarded! Stars of the previous SBF editions turned out to be the best!


Suwalki Blues Festival has once again been appreciated in the questionnaire Blues Top 2013. 6th edition of the SBF was on the podium in the category „Event of the Year”.

Suwalki Blues Festival came after Bluestracje Festival and Rawa Blues Festival which gained the title „Event of the Year”; SBF received this honorable title in 2012!

Even though last year’s edition of Suwalki Blues Festival has not won the title „Event of the Year’’, the awards in other categories confirmed that SBF is a significant blues event on the Polish map.

„Personality of the Year” award was given to Jan Chojnacki, who hosted 6th edition of Suwalki Blues Festival. Both in the categories „Band of the Year – Poland” and „Band of the Year – world '’ the best turned out to be groups that performed in July 2013 in Suwalki. Jan Gałach Band and the American band Moreland & Arbuckle have left their Suwalki ‘s fans with a little bit of a sorrow … for they did not play longer. Performances of the best groups playing in 2013 have delighted Suwalki fans and many visitors who came especially to that event even from far away.

During SBF 2013 blues fans could also listen to the winners in the category „Discovery of the Year”. Polish revelation on the blues scene was hailed The Cheap Tobacco and the world’s biggest revelation was a charismatic Layla Zoe who ruled the Suwałki stage at the Constitution 3 May park.

We will also find connections with SBF in biographies of the world’s female vocalist and male vocalist of the year. The best turned out to be Ana Popovic, who starred in Suwalki in 2011, and Earl Thomas, who in November gave an excellent concert in Suwalki Cultural Centre. Moreover, we can now confirm that in July Earl Thomas will be one of the stars of the VII edition of the SBF!
