GA-20 (US)

Since 2018, GA-20 has led the way in a new wave of traditional blues. The American trio - guitarist Matt Stubbs, guitarist-vocalist Cody Nilsen and drummer Josh Kiggans - draws inspiration from the intersection of traditional blues, country and rock'n'roll. "We make records that we ourselves want to listen to", says Stubbs. "It's our vision of song-based, traditional electric blues that we love."

The influences come straight from old-school masters: Otis Rush, J.B. Lenoir, Howlin' Wolf, Junior Wells, Hound Dog Taylor, Earl Hooker and Johnny 'Guitar' Watson, among others. The band uses vintage instruments and amplifiers and favours traditional recording techniques, such as recording live in the same room. In its short history, GA-20 has reached number one on Billboard's blues chart three times and won four Boston Music Awards for best blues band, plus numerous wins and nominations from Blues Music Awards, Blues Blast Awards and New England Blues Awards galas.
