About the event

GA-20 clearly is on to something big. It’s a movement, a new traditional  blues revival. The dynamic, throwback blues trio are disciples of the  place where traditional blues, country and rock ‘n’ roll intersect. “We  make records that we would want to listen to,” says guitarist Matt  Stubbs. “It’s our take on the song-based traditional electric blues we  love.” Stubbs, guitarist/vocalist Pat Faherty, and drummer Tim Carman  have been at the forefront of this traditional blues revival since they  first formed in 2018. It’s no wonder they skyrocketed to the top of the Billboard Blues Chart. According  to Stubbs, “Since we started the band we’ve focused on the story, the  melody, and on creating a mood. Playing live as much as we do, we’re  finding more and more that people are discovering how cool it all is.  Traditional country, soul and funk music have all had these massive  recent revivals, but traditional blues so far has not.” With their new  Colemine album, Crackdown, and an intensive tour schedule, that’s all about to change. On Crackdown,  GA-20’s third full-length release, the band creates an unvarnished,  ramshackle blues that is at once traditional and refreshingly modern.  Expanding on their previous releases (2019’s Lonely Soul and 2021’s Try It…You Might Like It! GA-20 Does Hound Dog Taylor)  GA-20 finds inspiration on the edges of the genre, where early electric  blues first converged with country and rock ‘n’ roll. The album’s nine  original songs include the loping, Louisiana-flavored Dry Run, the dirty, and bare-bones Easy On The Eyes and the melodic, garage-tinged Fairweather Friend. With tight, propulsive performances and a brevity and punk energy reminiscent of The Ramones, Crackdown is rowdy and fun, filled with instantly memorable, and well-crafted songs.
