" Memphis Baby... " 2017

We are honored to have been chosen to represent Long Island for the second year in a row at the International Blues Challenge! Thank you to the Long Island Blues Society and everyone who came out to Katie's of Smithtown this past Saturday to help show that the Blues is alive and well on Long Island! We'll see you in Memphis once again in January of 2017!


On September 20, 2015 The Johnny Mac Band won the Long Island Blues Society competition to enter the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. There we competed among 200 or so other bands from all over the world. We were honored to represent Long island in this endeavor. While the Johnny Mac Band did not advance to the semi finals...I cannot tell you enough how proud I am of this band and our performance at the IBC....we handled ourselves like the professionals we are and played at a very high level...With intensity and energy.....I also have to say how thrilled I was to look out and see 25 of our best friends who were there to support us and cheer us on....Thank you all for being there with us.....and of course our people back home... new friends and old ..who had our backs and supported us throughout this incredible journey....we could not have done this without you...God has blessed us with your love !!! Thanks to the man upstairs..and to you ....
