UPDATE: Tuesday, July 21.

The New Orleans Press Club Awards took place Saturday night at the Harrah’s Hotel, and OffBeat took home two awards. John Swenson won for Best Critical Review for his piece on Terence Blanchard’s A Tale of God’s Will (Requiem for Katrina), and Jan Ramsey, Joseph Irrera and Alex Rawls won for Best Email Update for “The Weekly Beat” (subscribe to it here).

In Best Entertainment Feature, Rawls took second for his profile of Susan Cowsill, “Decisions, Decisions,” and Swenson took third for “Off the Record.” In Best Critical Review, Rawls received an honorable mention for “The Blues’ Dark Past,” his review of Marybeth Hamilton’s book In Search of the Blues.

In Best Feature Photo, Owen Murphy took second place for his shot of Earl Palmer to accompany Ned Sublette’s tribute to Palmer, “Hiding in Plain Sight.” Rawls took an honorable mention for this blog in the Best Features Affiliated Blog category.

Congratulations to all the winners and honorees.

Update: As John points out in the comments, he won for his review of Dr. John’s City That Care Forgot, not the Blanchard review. That was last year. Sorry about that.
