GA-20 releases new single with revamped lineup

Since 2018, GA-20 has been at the forefront of traditional Blues revival. The dynamic throwback trio have long been disciples of the place where traditional blues, country and rock ’n’ roll intersect.

As they continue with their mission, GA-20 says goodbye to singer/guitarist Pat Faherty (who is parting ways with the band due to artistic differences), and welcomes in the exciting vocal powerhouse and slide expertise of Cody Nilsen. Together with guitarist/founder Matthew Stubbs and drummer Joshua Kiggans, the chart-topping power trio forges ahead into the last days of 2024 and into 2025 with Cryin’ & Pleadin’, the first single from their upcoming EP Volume 2, and a renewed commitment to their take on the traditional song based electric blues they love. The band’s version of Billy Boy Arnold’s classic Cryin’ & Pleadin’ is firmly rooted in the retro Chicago Blues sound, while still combining the fresh and raw energy GA-20 is known for.
