After receiving the nomination from blues music industry insiders for a Blues Blast Music Award, the public voted and decided their choice for the Sean Costello Rising Star Award: Lisa Mann! After performing at the Awards in Champaign, IL with Andy T’s band and fellow nominee Josh Hoyer, she was presented with the award by Sean’s father, Glenn Smith.
The award is named after guitar and vocal guru Sean Costello, who died tragically at the age of 28 after years of battling bipolar disorder. The Rising Star Award helps keep Sean’s memory alive, and brings the foundation his family set up in his name to the public’s attention.
