GA-20
Since 2018, GA-20 has been at the forefront of a traditional Blues revival. The dynamic throwback trio have long been 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, along with guitarist & vocalist Cody Nilsen and drummer Josh Kiggans, strive to bring traditional Blues to the front lines of the modern roots music scene. “The focus for us has always been on the story, the melody, and on creating a mood,” Stubbs continues. “Traditional Country and Soul have all had these massive recent revivals. We want to be part of doing that for traditional Blues music.”
GA-20 has drawn inspiration for their old-school sounds from the music they love by artists such as Otis Rush, J.B. Lenoir, Howlin’ Wolf, Junior Wells, Hound Dog Taylor, Earl Hooker, Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson and so many others. Performing with what feels like reckless abandon, GA-20 brings a timeless immediacy to every song they play with a sound that continues to grow and evolve. The band uses vintage instruments and amps to produce their authentic sound, and favours traditional recording techniques, like recording live off the floor together in one room, to help recreate that energy and sonic connection.
In their short history, GA-20 have been 3x #1 Billboard Blues chart toppers, 4x Boston Music Award winners for Best Blues Act, and have received multiple wins and nominations at the Blues Music Awards, Blues Blast Awards, New England Blues Awards, and have ascended streaming and radio charts at home and internationally. Medium.com has appropriately declared, “This is the kind of music that travels through time while taking from the era where it was born and turning it into something fresh. Dirty and raw…timeless and modern.”'s sound.
JAY APTT AND THE MALICAMINOS
Jay Aptt discovered his love for cars, guitars, the MaliCamino, blues, rock and soul at 16.
Since days and years ago, hauling equipment in the MaliCamino, he's shared the stage with greats, James Montgomery, Johnny A of Peter Wolf/Yardbirds, Joe Nadeau of Kenny Wayne Shepherd band, Mike O’Connell, Lois Lane, Barrence Whitfield, Erinn Brown, Lisa Marie, Borderland Allstars and more.
The Malicamino...a creation of brother Dave's ass haulin', tire smokin' '78 Malibu and a Diablo Red El Camino. Bastardized and hand cut smoldering to create the unmistakable, head turning Malicamino.
Riding shotgun is his long time partner in crime Ben [OB1] Ferrini on bass - who sometimes rode in the back holding down the equipment on the road.
