Australian
blues guitarist and singer Fiona Boyes soulful,
authoritative style — brilliantly displayed on her
current US release 'Blues Woman' — has earned
Boyes unprecedented international recognition. For
the past three years she’s been a final five
nominee in the Memphis based Blues Music Awards, the
only Australian ever to be nominated in these
awards, which are widely recognized as the Grammies
of the Blues. She received a “Contemporary Blues
Album of the Year” nod in 2007 for her Yellow Dog
debut, the electric 'Lucky 13'. The next year she
garnered a ballot for “Contemporary Female Blues
Artist of the Year.” In 2009 she
received an “Acoustic Blues Album of the Year”
nomination for the recording 'Live From Bluesville',
which also won the Los Angeles based International
Blues Critics Award for Best Live Album.
