At the Blues Music Awards in Memphis 5/6/10-the blues world's Grammy Awards- the Winthrop Festival lineup was well represented in the winners' circle. Portland vocalist/harmonica ace Curtis Salgado won for Male Soul-Blues Artist of the Year. Guitarist Debbie Davies won for Traditional Blues Female Artist of the Year. And Stanley Dural, AKA Buckwheat Zydeco won for Best Instrumentalist (other-accordion) of the year. It's been a BIG year for Buckwheat, who in January, after being nominated for five Grammies in three different categories over the years, won the Grammy for Best Cajun-Zydeco Recording.
