The Cascade Blues Association’s annual celebration of Oregon and SW Washington blues musicians, events, recordings and venues, The Muddy Awards, was held on Wednesday, November 1 to an enthusiastic audience at The Melody Ballroom. Twenty-two awards were handed out recognizing outstanding achievement as selected by the CBA members.

Terry Robb was selected this year for the “Paul deLay” Lifetime Achievement for his career not only as a musician, but as a teacher, producer and arranger in the studio working with artists including the late John Fahey, Sheila Wilcoxson, The Lightnin’ Kings’ latest recording, and many others. 

Terry also had the honor of presenting the 2017 "Terry Robb" Acoustic Guitar Muddy Award to Mary Flower.
