Derrick Dove and the Peacekeepers are the reigning 2026 International Blues Challenge Band Champions, and frontman Derrick Dove walked off the same Memphis stage named Best Guitarist. That title came out of the South Georgia pines around Tifton, where this band spent more than fifteen years turning gritty Southern blues rock into a live show with dirt under its nails. Their 2023 album Rough Time drew national press and pushed the single When Did I Get Old well past the club circuit, while originals like Daddy Was a Blues Man hit full throttle on stage. Dove leads on guitar and lead vocals, backed by a seasoned band with a guitar set on fire. This one is a single show only.
