 g\,” she says. “Now we’re claiming it"\n\n__________\n\nSince 2018\,
  GA-20 has been at the forefront of a traditional Blues revival. The dynam
 ic 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\, al
 ong with guitarist &amp\; vocalist Cody Nilsen and drummer Josh Kiggans\, 
 strive to bring traditional Blues to the front lines of the modern roots m
 usic scene.\n\nGA-20 has drawn inspiration for their old-school sounds fro
 m the music they love byartists such as Otis Rush\, J.B. Lenoir\, Howlin
 ’ Wolf\, Junior Wells\, Hound Dog Taylor\, Earl Hooker\, Johnny ‘Guita
 r’ Watson and so many others. Performing with what feels like reckless a
 bandon\, 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 recor
 ding techniques\, like recording live off the floor together in one room\,
  to help recreate that energy and sonic connection.
