Mini Muddy Awards:  The biggest single night for the Portland blues community returns after a one-year hiatus. This year the gala event will be held at Lovejoy Rooftop, the event side of Botanist on Wednesday, November 3rd. The Cascade Blues Association presents the 'Mini' Muddy Awards, honoring musical achievements from the past two-year period (Sept 1, 2019, through Aug 31, 2021) as awards are handed out recognizing outstanding musicians, venues, recordings, events, and more. 

This year's ceremony will include ten categories, including some new ones, that best reflect the modified circumstances that have existed over the past year and a half, and were voted on by CBA members in mid-October through an online ballot. 

Music will feature separate All-Star sets assembled by Rae Gordon and Ben Rice.

Botanist:  For those unfamiliar with Botanist, we are your thoughtful, intentional home away from home neighborhood destination bar/restaurant located in the heart of the Pearl District in Portland, Oregon. In the local community, we are known for our personalized style of hospitality, creative cocktails, and delectable tapas and entrées. Over the time that we have been open, we have been able to establish strong relationships with not only our guests (aka Our Family) but also the service industry professionals.
