Powerfully transcending his roots as a critically acclaimed veteran bluesman, Blind Lemon Pledge's bold, freewheeling exploration of Americana and folk music is rapidly earning him accolades in genres fresh to his creative palette. This week, the multi-talented musician and songwriter (http://blindlemon-pledge.com/) won two Best Song Awards at the Indie Music Channel Awards in Los Angeles for key tracks on his just released album 'Backwoods Glance' - Best Americana Song for "The Hills of West Virginia" and Best Gospel Song for "Give My Poor Heart Ease."
Created in 2012 by Emmy Award-winning TV host, actor and model, Christopher Ewing, the Indie Music Channel Awards recognize and support an array of talented indie musicians, composers and producers. With recognition in over 20 categories, the Awards brings together top creators in a wide number of genres from Americana to Pop to Gospel to Country to Hip Hop and much more. "I am very proud to be honored among these fine artists. And I want to extend a special thanks to all the musicians who helped make this project come alive," said Pledge, (aka James Byfield) as he accepted his awards.
