GA-20

GA-20 are a three-piece blues combo whose sound is a raucous throwback to the raw immediacy of vintage Chicago blues. Founded by guitarist Matthew Stubbs, their performances are simple but potent, stripping the songs to their frameworks with just two guitars and a drummer, while the tunes are modern-day variations on the joyous menace of the heyday of Chess Records. Founded in 2017, the band made a muscular debut with 2019's Lonely Soul, which captured their power and passion in a straightforward, no-frills style. In 2021 they issued Try It... You Might Like It! GA-20 Does Hound Dog Taylor, while 2022 saw the release of Crackdown, a set dominated by originals that had been in the works before their second LP came out.
