The Delta and Eclecto Groove family is extremely humbled to be honored among the best of the best gracing the nomination list for the 30th Annual Blues Music Awards. With a label best of 18 nominations in total, we are so proud that our blood, sweat and tears have been recognized. The record business is not always an easy road to travel, but we pour our hearts and souls into the music we release and it’s nominations like these that make it all worth it! We are so proud of all the musicians we work with and truly honored to have them a part of our blues family. But one individual in particular has sincerely touched our hearts. This young man contributed so much to the blues community in his all too short life. The blues world is so fortunate to have fatefully crossed paths with Sean Costello and his musical genius. We are so grateful that the nominating committee has chosen to honor his legacy and we hope the voters will do the same.
